Getting a VDR setup with vdpau is very easy. There's no need to use special repositories, packages, etc. unless you actually want to. If vdpau is the only thing you're after, you might be creating more work for yourself by not just keeping it small& simple.
Perhaps. I had a lot of trouble a year or so ago trying to get xineliboutput working with VDPAU under Ubuntu9. It has probably improved since then.
Nowadays I simply add a launchpad repos and do 'apt-get install' for vdr, xineliboutput etc. I probably get a lot of stuff I do not need, but it is very simple to install and maintain.
