The open radeon driver is tear-free. Compositing would be disabled with the help of the new unredirect fullscreen windows feature in Compiz to improve performance, but is currently not for various video players because of this bug. On older Intel hardware, setting the default of XvPreferOverlay to true in xorg.conf should fix the issue, but it does not help with newer hardware like Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge. On fglrx, the enabling the "tear free" setting does fix tearing in fullscreen videos, the vsync option alone does not.
