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
components:

 [...]

    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.

Thanks for the info. How can I check the X.Org version I have?
I've looked on xorg modules in yumex and see some of them are 7.3.5, 7.3.9, 7.4
