I can confirm that bug in xubuntu 14.04 (nvidia-driver version 304.125),
XFCE4's compositor disabled.
the part from "glxinfo" output:
""
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extens
For me the only way to avoid tearing when reproducing video or using
applications such as Firefox is to use the Nouveau driver.

One more thing to add...
Sadly after my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up the tearing comes back.
You have to go to System Settings -> Desktop Effects -> Advanced tab and change
Scaling Method to whatever. Than Apply changes and that's it.
