I'm new to using git to obtain sources, and can't seem to get the vdpau sources into my local ffmpeg git tree. In /usr/local/src/VDPAU i've pulled the ffmpeg sources creating a ffmpeg-git directory with the usual ffmpeg data in it. I then try to pull the vdpau sources with  "git clone --reference /usr/local/src/VDPAU/ffmpeg-git git://repo.or.cz/FFMpeg-mirror/ffmpeg-vdpau.git". This creates a ffmpeg-vdpau directory with nothing but .git in it; no sources. Anyone with more experince in this have any pointers on what I am doing wrong?
I'm in the US running vdr 1.6.0-2 on an AMD x2 4600+ using ffmpeg and xine and have no problems with HD MPEG2 and H264 up to 1080i (some occasional stuttering), but the 1080p channels fail miserably. While waiting patiently for xine to support VDPAU, I'd like to get the driver and ffmpeg working with Mplayer to try things out.

Thanks
Todd
