Flash video tearing w/ Nvidia

All of my flash video from websites has tearing problems. Playing videos(h264, mpeg2, etc) in mplayer and vlc has no tearing. I've tried multiple versions of the proprietary Nvidia driver(180.21, 180.44, 185.19) all have the same result.

Anyone else having this issue?

Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm running Arch64 with 64bit Flash from repo and it is mainly noticeable when fullscreen.

Re: Flash video tearing w/ Nvidia

It's a Flash problem. At the moment, Flash for 64 bits is still and alpha, and still has no HW accel. Let's hope adobe fixes it soon.
