I would personally suggest not installing the closed source fglrx
driver, because it is unable to display xv video without tearing (you
can see a split in the image during motion scenes where the top half is
out of sync with the bottom half). The only work around to that problem
is to output your video to gl rather than XV, but that doesn't work well
if you also have a 3d desktop enabled (Visual Effects enabled.)
Of course, others might have need to install the drivers for some other
purpose that's more important to you them smooth video playback.
