Other than use a better one?

The tearing effect is caused when the video playback is not
synchronised to the screen refresh rate.  The player draws a new frame
while an old one is still being shown on (part of) the screen.

Does that sound like any encoding techniques will help?  Perhaps a
large temporal blur will make two consecutive frames so similar you
won't see the problem.
