Sounds like your graphic card is about to die (same scenario happend to a colleague last week).
How old is the computer?
Which graphic card?
Open a terminal and type (or copy and paste):
sudo lshw -C video

Thanks for the info, but no, rather file a bug.

In the meantime you could test video playing without visual effects.
system preferences -> appearance -> visual effects = None

Also try this.
Open a terminal and type (or copy and paste):
gstreamer-properties

Tab video, plugin output option: X Window System (no Xv)

I am having this same problem but I'm on Linux. I have restarted my computer and it does fix it.

Can you help with this problem?
