DRI2 is not a requirement for properly integrating XVideo with a compositing manager. The driver just needs to provide a textured XVideo adaptor for that (and the video player application needs to use that, obviously :).

DRI2 is indeed a requirement for properly integrating accelerated client OpenGL rendering output with a compositing manager though.
