To me it seems as a desktop (widow manager) problem, not a system, so I would 
try to turn off monitor power management. 

For default installation you will have to go trough Computer menu (bottom 
left), click on the "More applications". In the window that opens click on the 
System and find "Power management". In the "Power Management Preferences" you 
can change how log display will be active before desktop will put it to sleep. 
Default is 5 minutes. 

In general the problem is that application that you use to watch videos is not 
able to communicate with desktop and turn off power management for duration of 
the movie. Who is at fault and for which component you should file bug report, 
application or window manager, is another question, that is impossible to 
answer without knowing application and its exact version.
