I noticed the same thing in Natty with Xv textured video on Intel
i945GM. The tearing seems to disappear when using Xv video overlay.

You can try this in mplayer with the following command:

$  mplayer -vo xv:adaptor=1 <file>

Or by setting XvPreferOverlay to true in xorg.conf, the intel man page
says the following about XvPreferOverlay:

"Make hardware overlay be the first XV adaptor.  The overlay behaves
incorrectly in the presence of compositing, but some prefer it due to it
syncing to  vblank  in the  absence  of  compositing.  While most XV-
using applications have options to select which XV adaptor to use, this
option can be used to place the overlay first for applications which
don't have options for selecting adaptors. Default: Textured video
adaptor is preferred."

i'm not sure I had this problem in Maverick as the man page says that
textured video does not sync to vblank. I really did notice the tearing
after upgrading to Natty though. I can't try with the OpenGL output as
it is broken over here.
