Looks like we can support VDPAU in applications like mplayer and xine now. There's an official opensource library that provides the VDPAU API, the implementation parts are included in the Nvidia driver. -------- Forwarded Message --------

I'm pleased to announce the first release of libvdpau as a standalone library. This package contains the libvdpau wrapper library and the libvdpau_trace debugging library, along with the header files needed to build VDPAU applications. To actually use a VDPAU device, you need a vendor-specific implementation library. Currently, this is always libvdpau_nvidia. You can override the driver name by setting the VDPAU_DRIVER environment variable.

These files are also currently shipped as part of the NVIDIA driver package. We're going to continue to do that for now, but the long-term goal is to ship only libvdpau_nvidia in that package.
