I have a similar problem using Unity2D. My machine was built to be a low-end HTPC with all the computation in the graphics card.
I got excellent results with 10.04 Lucid Lynx. Upgrading to 12.04 has shown a *substantial* tearing problem using either
mplayer or mplayer2 with vdpau and proprietary Nvidia drivers.
The hardware in question is an AMD Sempron(tm) 140 Processor with an Nvidia GeForce 210 graphics card.
I will run apport collect to provide more information.
