With my ATI Mobility Radeon X300 I have the same problem.

I must choose using composite extensions or playing videos with the fglrx drivers.

With the open drivers I can't use the Powerplay option and the fan is active much time degrading the battery life, but videos and composite works fine together.

So for now I use fglrx with no composite with this options in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Configured Video Device"
 Driver "fglrx"
 Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
 Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
EndSection

I tried a lot of configurations, but always with problems. Maybe the video doesn't appear, or appear "pixelized" and using a lot of CPU, or is in front of any windows...

Regards!.
