For some reason you say you disliked Gnome - but does Gnome show issues (they use the same video driver)?
No, neither gnome nor gnome-classic.
The black tape has gone away for KDE also. Apparently logging out and in again fixed or obscured the problem.
One of them, I think it was gnome-classic, did videos badly. It was a bit like a shutter came about a quarter way down at about once per second.
I'll try the live CD suggested elsewhere.
I tried the live DVD from which I installed C7. It would not do videos at all. It claimed it did not have mp4 codecs. It made the same complaint about avi and flv files.
How would I go about telling whether C7 decided to do software rendering?
