I also had very bad tearing issues in videos using a GeForce 320M on my Macbook Air. Coment #60 fixed this issue for me too. On my desktop machine I have a GeForce 560 Ti which does not require that setting. Until now it has always been sufficient to adjust the sync settings in nvidia-settings and compiz, but it did not work on the 320M.
Setting "Force full screen redrews (buffer swap) on repaint" should definitely be considered a workaround and not a solution, since I read on the ubuntuusers.de-wiki that it requires more powerful hardware. So I guess on a laptop it might have negative effects on battery life.
