Tearing with VDPAU is currently a bug in the nvidia drivers and
require to disable composite in xorg.conf.
Add the following:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
to your xorg.conf
Hopefully they will fix this as it certainly a poor first-hand experience...
Depending on the kind of videos you are watching, some deinterlacer
will do a better job than others. Bob is good for fast moving scene,
but it leaves a lot of interlaced artefacts..
Have a read...

Try to disable composite in xorg.conf and see how it goes
