Comment 8 for bug 150217

The same problem is present here. The distortion looks as if the screen is updating too slowly, or not synchronized to the refresh rate. That is, you see parts of the old picture and part of the new picture at the same time.

The problem only occurs when compiz is enabled (no matter if normal or extra effects).

The problem occurs in all programs using xvideo, mplayer -vo xv included.

mplayer -vo x11 works, but it doesn't support fullscreen, so it's useless.

I supply version information below.
