With Oneiric, it works "out of the box".

But I have a complete freeze of the PC after around 15min inside a HD (1920) movie. Complete freeze meaning that even CTRL-ATL-F1 is not responsive, so you can't even shutdown properly the PC with a command.
Furthermore, I suspect (I haven't fully investigated) that Oneirci comes with some kind of compositing video (Compiz?) by default. And compositing + full screen video is bad because it generally means you get some "tearing" in the images.
With 10.10/10.04 I run with plain old not-compsiting metacity and I have a perfect image.

Not sure the freeze is related to VLC though, as Oneiric is quite young and might have this kind of nasty bug.

At the moment I'm reverting back to 10.10 for my BluRay/HD player Linux box.
