With my ATI Mobility Radeon X300 I have the same problem.

I must choose using composite extensions or playing videos with the
fglrx drivers.

With the open drivers I can't use the Powerplay option and the fan is
active much time degrading the battery life, but videos and composite
works fine together.

So for now I use fglrx with no composite with this options in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "fglrx"
        Option          "VideoOverlay"  "on"
        Option          "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
EndSection

I tried a lot of configurations, but always with problems. Maybe the
video doesn't appear, or appear "pixelized" and using a lot of CPU, or
is in front of any windows...

Regards!.
