Two possible fixes:
PAROLE MOVIE PLAYER FIX
The solution to the Xubuntu Parole errors: "GStreamer backend error" or
"Could not initialise Xv output" is to run in the command line the
following, only once:
parole --xv false
VIDEO FIX in XUBUNTU
You can always revert to the generic video drivers by renaming/removing
the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, regardles of the installed drivers if
xorg.conf is absent the system will use the default ones.
