This is related to bug #4229 
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/4229). You 
should make some changes to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

You have to use sudo in order to edit the xorg.conf file:sudo kate 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Add the lines to Section "Device"...
It should look something like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device"
Driver "i810"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
Option "VideoRam" "65536"   <= Set correct amount of mem
Option "CacheLines" "1980"   <= Add this line too
EndSection


Note: To avoid further misunderstandings; this solution is hardware 
specific! It works on a system, which has an Intel Integrated Graphics 
Device with 64Mb of shared memory and using the i810 driver. If your 
amount of memory is different from the above mentioned example change it 
to your cards specs.

Note2: I do not have an Intel based pc. All my pc's are NVidia based. I 
remembered having seen this on the Ubuntu forums.

Success,
 Harry
