First of all, does this problem occur with all video players or just
with some of them? Which ones did you try?

Are you using desktop effects/compositing? If yes, then you should try
if turning them off makes a difference. Also, check the CPU load while a
video is playing.

Besides that, the output of the following commands might give us a clue
about possible problems with your X server:

grep -E '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
glxinfo | grep -E 'direct|vendor|version'
xvinfo | grep -E 'Adaptor|version| id'
