Does it do it every time? Could be similar to bug #862139. Does running
"xset -dpms" workaround the issue?

Title:
  Screen goes black while watching video

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While watching a video in Ubuntu Gnome/Unity GUI with the video player
  (Totem), screen goes black after a while, where the use of a video
  player was inhibiting the screensaver to kick in in previous Ubuntu
  versions.

  Furthermore, in Control panel, the setting for screen to go black
  cannot be set to "never", maximum is "one hour", which doesn't give
  the user the choice to use this feature or not.

  Furthermore, Even when set to "One hour", my screen ingores the
  setting and goes black about every 10 minutes whatsoever.

  What a pain in the ... to have the screen go black every 10 minutes
  while watching a movie !
