Ok, it appears now Xv is not working not only with Compiz which is my case
#440262.

But the difference is that I didn't have such problems with Xorg from
December 2007/January 2008:

xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-39.fc8.i386
xorg-x11-drv-i810-2.1.1-7.fc8.i386

In fact Xv was working great with "intel" driver even with high definition
video files with 1920x1080 resolution.
At this point the new Xorg 1.4 appeared in rawhide.
My latest check with newer drivers was around February, but can't find
exact version as of this time. The problem then was that with EXA which was
chosen as default is very slow. Changing to XAA resulted to distorted fonts
in terminals but the video was playable with Xv. Then I switched back to older
version.
As of one-two weeks ago I changed Xorg to the latest in rawhide again and
noticed the problem which I've reported here as bug #440262.
The problem is somewhere in the updates from the last 1-2 months, not as
with #239125 a year ago.
