The problem is that XVideo bypasses the AIGLX rendering architecture in its
current implementation (NVidia's own version and 'Xgl' don't have that
problem, although their implementation has a performance issue; DRI2 is
supposed to fix everything for AIGLX in the future...)

There is an unofficial patch for mplayer/compiz (it'll never be official,
it's more like a temporary and dirty hack) that makes XVideo work for the
most part, and adds a 'smooth zoom'. Read more here:
