What video player are you using and have you checked the power management settings? There might be power settings in addition to the ones in xscreensaver, but I don't have Ubuntu set up right now so I can check for sure.

Glad you fixed it.

It might be good to mark the thread as "Solved" so that, if someone else comes along with the same question, they would know a possible solution is in this thread.
