No, I meant in the OpenGL vo, without any use interaction. In theory
there is GLX_SGI_video_sync, but I don't know how to use it.

No, the "normal" xvideo mode is Video Overlay Adaptor, and it always
uses VSYNC (this is the only one that uses the real video hardware, and
it seems to have been removed in the PCIe versions :-(, so there goes
another advantage of XVideo).
The others are different kinds of emulations (no idea what the
difference is, except that there is only one "Video Texture Adaptor" but
32 "Video Blitter Adaptors" (this is specific to the nVidia
closed-source drivers though, I think the open source once only have the
real overlay).
