Some additional facts from testing and debugging:
1) UAC prompt disables Aero if "secure desktop" is enabled for this dialog. The problem is that after closing this dialog Aero is not restored in case video is playing.
2) it is not related only to MM. I've reproduced this behaviour also while playing video in GraphEdit.
3) but, in GraphEdit it is related only some videos (in MM probably all videos). I have 2 XVid files, played by the same DS filters, one causes this problem in GraphEdit, one not. I did not find any difference, why this is happening.
4) this is not happening, if video is paused

Resolving, I am unable to reproduce it with the current version of MM4.1 and MM4.0.4. It is most probably fixed by using our new renderer (issue 0007187).
