This is a bug in xvideo in the proprietary ATi drivers (fglrx). See my
report here:

You can work around it by setting the video backend to OpenGL instead of
XV. Since you use fglrx anyway, this is just as fast.

In xine and mplayer, you can set it in the preferences (in xine you need
to change the level to intermediate to see the option). In
totem-gstreamer, you need to run gstreamer-properties (and I think
totem-xine has a config file in $(HOME). For vlc, edit
$(HOME)/.vlc/vlcrc
