tearing in videos (1 Viewer)

Tearing is caused by MP using VMR9 without DirectX exclusive enabled. Most likely those other players are using overlay (overlay is not available with MP). So only way to fix the tearing when using MP is to get the DirextX exclusive mode to work.
Yes, I did mean different video formats.

thanks tourettes, but how can i get exclusive mode to work in DX9?
NOTE: I've tested using ZoomPlayer in VMR9 mode and there is no tearing, the movie goes smooth... i'm not sure if this app uses exclusive mode to play content.
Given I now also have tearing, I just wanted to throw in some information.
I used to have an ATI before, and I was perfectly able to have tearing-free playback without using the VMR9 exclusive mode. In fact I didn't want to use it because in that case it prevents reclock to load, and therefore I'm getting non smooth playback of all 23.976 fps material.
Now I changed graphic card to an nvidia lately ... and now I have tearing. I've moved to vista, and I still get tearing.
In media player classic in vista, only 4 modes are really working:
overlay, vmr9 windowed, vmr9 renderless, haali output.
the vmr9 mixer mode needs to be checked otherwise things crawl for a reason.
I get tearing in all modes except overlay. Reclock does a pretty good job at keeping the tearing down to the bottom (as I told it too), but on really full screen (16/9) videos it still shows up.
What baffles me is that *even* the haali output has tearing. when it's specifically engineered to prevent that!
So imho, the problem lies in the video driver somehow.
Anyway. I like mediaportal, I developped my own tvseries plugins for it, and now I'm stuck with tearing. viva nvidia!

I'm using SVN 12/07/2007 and i have no tearing, my graphics card is a nVidia 6600GT, i've VMR9 exclusive mode enabled and latest drivers available from nVidia. with previous SVN vresions i can't use exclusive mode and i was having tearing problems... I'm not sure if the problem is from MP or nVidia drivers or codecs... using ZoomPlayer for example or WMP in VMR9 mode i have no tearing...
In my case I have tearing in any application except windows media player.
When I check exclusive mode in mediaportal and I try to play a video, I get ... a BSOD in win32k.sys.
peachy huh?
I'll try to update the drivers when I get the chance. Given it used to work with an ATI and (exact same setup / OS / apps) when I switched to nvidia it stopped working, I'd say it's a driver problem only.
My current workaround is to have reclock as the audio renderer, and have it managing vsync right at the bottom of the video. The tearing in that case usually occurs on the last pixels which is tolerable.
