This probably works due to double buffering. In the future this may be possible with XVideo as well by using a pixmap as the 'back buffer', but it's not implemented yet, though somebody posted a patch for it to an upstream mailing list a while ago. > I have never observed such flickering with the intel driver or Radeon > 9200 card.
