@bowser
VLC actually uses vdpau, or at least this is what it says. In order to enable support just install the nvidia proprietary driver, vdpau* packages and in VLC (codecs tab iirc) "enable GPU acceleration" or something like that. Restart VLC and you'll see in debug it's loading and using vdpau (unless it's lying...?).

That said i can easily provide more results with different apps but
judging from the other comments i don't think there's a need (also,
looks like it's the same for everyone here, so i guess it's easily
reproducible provided you have an nvidia card).

@Daniel
I'll try, but still i think that compiz should handle this "automagically", it's not a weird scenario (also please note that in my screenshot the channel wasn't HD...if i watch HD channels they stutter, but i'd leave that out for now)
