If you have an unredirected fullscreen DRI2 application, then it will use pageflipping to update the scanout upon a SwapBuffers. So something as simple as 'mplayer -fs -vo gl' should be enough to achieve tear-free playback on most DE (you may have to tweak a few compositor settings if using one though).
