This very much sounds like your driver doesn't allow XVideo surfaces in
that resolution any more. Maybe you had the binary NVidia drivers
installed? Then an update of xorg-x11-drivers-video or the kernel might
reinstall the open source driver, which might not support XVideo for
your card well enough.
If it's radeon or intel, maybe it's a new driver bug :-/
Or a misinstallation (mismatching versions of some packages).
You can always circumvene this by using the xshm output plugin
(xine -V xshm) - though that will be slower, and scaled images don't
look as good at all.

1st) This error message does not state that this is due to missing codec
support
2nd) Please don't call it broken. You may call it stripped, or even
crippled (even we call it that way), because of this legalese
stupidity.
