Tearing video in Intrepid here, too .. :(

* Using plain video-overlay XV-port works very poorly, but it doesn't crash Xorg. It is, however, not usable, and there are lots of artifacts, window rendering bugs, etc. whenever it is in use. But I'm guessing the plain old overlay works much better without Compiz (haven't tried, yet). However, in Hardy, using the plain overlay actually worked in Compiz, even though it wasn't properly composited, etc. I'd rather have that, than textured video with tearing.

* Using Textured Video XV-port (default) causes video-tearing, and that sucks. However, it plays very nicely together with Compiz.

* Enabling VSYNC in Compiz does not help.
