Same thing happens on Windows if hardware acceleration is enabled. The video is decoded and drawn by the video card.

  But in that case (iirc), the video is displayed as a black square. There's no window borders here either.

    Well if the video is hardware blended there could be anything in the framebuffer, so it could be black or checkered, I see no incompatibility. The lack of borders is definitely harder to explain that way though. Definitely looks like some form of deliberate "limitation".

  Old hardware accelearation method. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd390946.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd39... Since Vista it's disabled by default and incompatible with DWM.

  Came here to post this. I rememver having to disable hardware accelaration in windows to take screenshots of videos. It was actually pretty weird the way the picture apeared in paint. It was like having a "frame"in the editor. Everything was fine until you closed the media player.
