I think it is your card that is the problem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU shows that is should support up to VP1, however if you look at mythtv's guide: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU it starts only at series 8 and newer.
It seems that your card can then only support xvmc for mpeg2 codec only. :(
Buy a a new 8400 GS (old brand model name but new architecture G98 chip) as indicated here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo
It is cheap and runs at 40'C, fast and silent (mine has no fan on it) and supports up to VP3.

Hi
This is more related to xine than VDR, but I can't get vdpau to work on my VDR box. Everything appears to compile fine, but if I do: xine --list-plugins | grep vdpau I get nothing.
I can start xine with : xine --verbose=2 -V vdpau -A alsa --post vdr_video --post 001.vdr but it plays in xv "video_out_xv" (see attached)
I can even start with xine --verbose=2 -V biggirlsblouse -A alsa --post vdr_video --post vdr_audio --post upmix_mono 001.vdr and it still plays in xv with no errors.
ANY IDEAS??
I'm using xine-lib-1.2 and patching with xine-lib-1.2-vdpau-r286.diff which was configured with: ./autogen.sh --with-vdpau --enable-debug --disable-optimizations --with-mpc=no
then using xine-ui xine-ui-cvs-20090617220000 built with ./autogen.sh --enable-vdr-keys --disable-lirc
My only library plugins are now xine-lib-1.2: ldconfig -p | grep xine libxine.so.2 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libxine.so.2 libxine.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libxine.so

Any ideas?? What am I doing wrong?
