http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_43029.html - according to this VC-1 is not supported for your card.

[sl1pkn07]

is more important the "IDCT"? in the table only disable this feature... (high and standar profile)

Sorry, you also need to:

export VDPAU_DEBUG=2

Your best bet is to look at the svn revisions that the patch pulls and pull libx264 from the same date/time-stamp. However, there are no guarantees that this will work.

Having the same problem as philipl. Here's my output with both debug options set. Please let me know if the hex would be helpful... it was thousands of lines so I left it out.

I've built a package for ubuntu, it doesn't have any dependencies so you'll need to install the standard mplayer package first I think..

Here it is :
http://www.avenard.org/files/mplayer...29-1_amd64.deb

Watching a 1080p H264 video ; the CPU usage is higher than what I would have expected: about 47% (on a E8500 intel: dual-core 3.16GHz).
There's quite a significant amount of tearing in the video ...

But at least xorg doesn't take 100% of the CPU time as when using xv...
The video is great using the opengl renderer ; but unfortunately there's quite a delay between the sound and the video, and the more you watch the greater the gap easy)

Edit: I didn't specify which codec to use, that's why it didn't show low CPU usage... With the Grey.ts demo file it works ; CPU usage for mplayer is less than 2% the system idling at 99.7% ; impressive !

The tearing is still there though ... also noticing some video corruption from time to time: big blocky bits


I haven't been able to play other H264 videos I have here...

theuni, You're having a different issue; all the VDPAU objects are being allocated correctly, but there's a failure some time later whilst actually performing the decode. Can you post a link to the clip you're playing, and we'll see if we can repro the issue. What video card are you using (cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0, or generate an nvidia-bug-report)

All of the h264 720p/1080p movies in my collection have failed, though some of the samples from the mplayer ftp, and random ones around the web work.

Both samples on this site fail for me:

Edit: Crash kills my bash session, same as jyavenard. X86_64 here, btw.

Error at libvo/vo_vdpau.c:826

VC1 hardware decoding doesn't work with 9400GT here (not a 9200 or 9300 obviously)

this looks very promising! I tried a couple of h264 movies where normally mplayer would say that my system is to slow to play them. With de patched mplayer it only uses ~ 4-5% of 1 of my CPUs! It looked very good, although there where some problems with de-interlacing.

I tested this with a 8600GTS, it's a pity that my 6150 based mythtv box cannot benefit from this new driver.

A very nice surprise from nvidia! Great work!

Off to test some more....

Just add a silent lowend 8300/8400 to your mythtv box.
