@davidcaste, your workaround works for me, Thanks a bunch for posting
it!!

(Doesn't Work)Previously my xorg.conf showed:
Virtual 2048 2048

Now it's set as you said to:
Virtual 2880 900 
and I can play videos.

When I first changed the setting, I thought the screen resolution for my dual 
monitor configuration was going to suffer, but it didn't. The resolutions for 
my monitors are as follows:
1280x1024 Planar 19" lcd monitor
1400x1050 hp Compaq nc6320 lcd screen

Right On. That just made my day. Ubuntu is awesome! Freedom and
GNU/Linux is awesome!!
