During playback, fullscreen video should disable the screensaver to allow watching arbitrarily long videos uninterrupted. This is a feature that is common in native player and would be a leg up on flash-based players.

Reproducible: Always

There is a registry key that could be used for this purpose on Windows, but I'm not sure I like it for the same reasons given here: http://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/vlc-devel/2008-December/054231.html but the workaround they came up with, while perhaps a bit hacky, would work fine here too.
