started happening around 2 months ago but have not been able to pin down exactly which update caused the failure vdpau_display vout display error
Have you googled for "vdpau display vout display error"? I'm asking, because you didn't mention what exactly you already have done, to pin down the culprit. Don't read just Arch related posts, consider to also read e.g. Ubuntu related posts, if Arch related posts shouldn't cover this issue for the same graphics. Have you e.g. ensured that regarding the driver everything is ok?

/var/log/pacman.log helps you to search for packages that might have to do with the issue.
Hi Ralf . Yes been there it was the first place i looked when the issue first showed up one of the problems is i have no real way of knowing exactly when this issue first occurd althou i update the system every day i do not always use the tv card or want/need to watch a video . I am not even sure which package/s would have an effect like this around the same time i had a cut&paste issue that prevented me doing cut&paste using the mouse that has now rectified itself but the video issue still keeps me looking for the fix . Thanks Pete .
