Hey, guys, I can't get my boinc to stop coming on in the middle of watching videos when the screensaver doesn't come on.

Use cc_config.xml to make it an excluse app, as per:

<exclusive_app>filename.exe</exclusive_app>

FAQ here.

You'll need to work out the name of the video device/display/program.

Got a recent version of BOINC?
These include an easy-to-use option for cc_config.
See the Note in the FAQ under Logging flags.
