I'm very happy to say that I now run vdr-sxfe with vdpau! It's not stable yet but what a great first effort. It actually works, including osd.
Can you post your pc specs and what cpu usage is with/without using VDPAU? Thanks!

Well, starting from today (rev 126) this works really well. I'm playing some old vdr 1080i recordings from VOOM HD right now with my 4850e at 7% at 1GHz on an ASUS uATX board with an 8200 IGP. With xv the same clip averages at 70% at 2.5GHz (without deinterlacing) and there are many interruptions. 70%*2.5GHz/(7%*1GHz)=25. That means the GPU does the job of about 25 CPU's under these conditions. Not bad! I'm not sure what deinterlacing is available with vdpau though. But my suggestion to people looking for new hardware is: buy a mobo with nvidia 8/9-series IPG and a cheap CPU and start testing. Let's hope Intel start allowing HDMI on Atom boards soon, that would be ideal.
Happy new year to all vdr users and developers, /Magnus H
