I've tested most of the possible combinations: Intel, ATI+fglrx, ATI+Radeon and closed-source NVidia. Only Intel has the tearing issue. All the others play video, including HD-Video, perfectly. BTW, my MediaPC has a cheap dual core Intel Core 2 @1.8 GHz and a $30 NVidia graphics card. It has no problems playing H.264 720p. The above is using XV, I don't use the OpenGL overlay as it had some issues. /Markus </body> </html>
