I think that explains it pretty well:)

The strange texture overlay that you get on the video is because part
of the mythbuntu theme is painted natively by Qt and in 0.24, that
painting sometimes occurs after we've disabled the main UI painting.
Coincidentally, the mythbuntu background has sizeable areas of colour
that match the VDPAU chromakey colour and hence the video shows
through in part. The painter issue is fixed in master/0-25 (but the
mythbuntu theme does need a fix to show that textured background again
as it is a little plain without it).

wrt the video not being resized, I've just confirmed this with master.
Looks like the video player is getting the resize 'event' too early
(before it's fully started) and hence it fails. I could have sworn I
fixed that a few months ago...
