I have the same problem. My card is a nVidia 660GT with 128MB. I'm using
Ubuntu Hardy and I tried with the Nvidia restricted drivers 169.12,
173.14.12 (envyng) and the latest 177.80 (from the nvidia web).

I can reproduce the problem whenever I want, I think it's related with
the amount of texture memory used. I'm using a resolution of 1920x1200
and when I have a few windows opened I can't watch videos in fullscreen,
Totem, Mplayer and VLC just die with a BadAlloc error.

If I have a lot of windows opened I can't even watch the video at all,
the players close with the same error before the video is shown. But if
I minimize all the windows, I can play the video in fullscreen, and when
the video is playing I can re-maximize the previously minimized windows
and the video will keep playing (sometimes it fails too).

I'm only having this problem with compiz enabled.
