This is a known limitation of (at least) the NVidia drivers. Quoting the
NVidia README:

--snip--

The Composite extension also causes problems with other driver

 [...]

    On X.Org 7.1 and higher, the driver will properly redirect video into
    offscreen pixmaps. Note that the Xv adaptors will ignore the
    sync-to-vblank option when drawing into a redirected window.
