Thanks for the help. I think I've pinpointed the source of the problem. I had set the CacheLines parameter in my xorg.conf as part of a tutorial for a dual monitor setup. Also had the PageFlip parameter set. Both of these seem to be big no-nos for video playback with the intel card.
Removed them and can now play video. Using AccelMethod EXA also works if CacheLines if these parms are not set.
In short, I just removed all the nonstandard configuration options in the card's device section and that took care of things. Hopefully dual monitor will still work ok. Will find out tomorrow.
