I'm doing it with MPlayer VDPAU playback because mu GFX card has 256MiB 
only and without that it wont work in many cases ( low memory VDPAU error ):

gksudo xhost +; sudo xinit -e /usr/local/bin/mplayer -vo vdpau -vc 
ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau -mc 2 -softvol 
-softvol-max 200 -ass -fontconfig -fs -tskeepbroken -tsprobe 100000 "$1" 
-- :1 -config "/etc/X11/xorg.conf-vdpau" -depth 24 -ac -nolisten tcp -a 2

I'm using *gksudo* at the beginning because it's invoked from menu not 
from terminal and I'm using special xorg.conf with *composite* disabled 
where for my desktop I have *composite* enabled.
