If you aren't using latest CVS, that sure is part of your problem.

-vo gl is preferable, it properly supports vsync via OpenGL.

That is a ugly hack that few people are likely to be interested in I

nVidia implementations you have to enable it explicitly - newer MPlayer
versions should do that automatically.
