Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Reproducibility is about 90% of the time:

1. download the offending video
2. open and play it with VLC player

Actual Results:  
KDE crashes (Plasma? Kwin?) and returns to the KDM login screen

Sometimes VLC manages to play the video, but it displays two windows with two
different video streams (screenshot → http://ompldr.org/vN3NnbA )

Expected Results:  
The video is played correctly

These videos are played without problems using different video players, such as
mplayer and kaffeine.
