Hi there,
Today I had a video showing blocking artifacts while playing it with vdpau. If I use mplayer's software decoder, the problem does not appear.
mplayer does not show any error/warning on the terminal while playing it.
The video was encoded with "x264 core 79 r1332 70f8869" using this settings:

I uploaded a sample video (vdpau_artifacts.mkv) at Nvidia's ftp.
