According to your log, the directx plugin is not trying to use the YUV 
overlay mode which is quite strange as most graphics cards should be able 
to use that (the directx plugin can only output the "vout: could not Blit 
the surface" debug message in non-overlay mode).

Could you also run the DirectXCapsViewer ? 
http://downloads.earlsoft.co.uk/files/Development/DXF/DXSDK/bin/DXUtils/DXCapsViewer.exe

Now you could also try to play with the directx plugin configuration 
options. "use hardware YUV->RGB conversions" and "use video buffers in 
system memory" might create the problem you are reporting.
