Hi!

I've encountered a workaround for this problem. I've created a /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, and I specified on it the virtual resolution of my display. Then I've restarted, and I able to play videos correctly with Totem and MPlayer using XV video output.

 At least in my case, the xorg.conf file has the following content:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Configured Screen Device"
        Device "Configured Video Device"
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual 2880 900
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection

HTH!!
