You can (and I do) temporarily disable the screensaver using the command `gnome-screensaver-command --inhibit`. If you run it in a terminal, the screensaver won't activate until you kill it with Ctrl-C. Of course, I then either forget to disable the screensaver before starting a video or forget to re-enable it afterwards...
