Thanks in advance!

You need to have the VDPAU headers installed. They are no longer distributed with the driver in the 260 series. If you have that, you need to have libvdpau-devel installed (or what ever the package is called on ubuntu). If you are using your distribution's packages for the nvidia driver, you very likely also need that, regardless of driver version.

(power mizzer is on, and it's on openSuse 11.2 so not the latest kernel and compiz enable).

Maj to 11.3 with compiz enabled and power mizzer on.:

Given that inverting the telecining that is done to turn progressive content into interlaced content results in progressive/de-interlaced content, why would I combine that with another de-interlacer like TEMPORAL or TEMPORAL_SPATIAL?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of the IVTC de-interlacer?

It detects progressive frames in a stream to disable de-interlacing (and the sometimes resulting artefacts) for those frames (but does not change the frame-rate in a way some MPlayer filters do it). This may also be useful when watching DVB channels that change between interlaced and progressive content the way it often happens in PAL country (but personally, I prefer to turn de-interlacing on/off myself).

Time for an update to this, using newer drivers.
Whatever was wrong with VC-1 is now fixed, and the other numbers also improved.

After lotsa trying and failing i give up. I cant seem to get this tool compiled under ubuntu 10.4.

Here's some debug logs for you to look at:

what am i doing wrong?

edit: and fixed, relinked libvdpau.so to libvdpau.so.260.19.12, so i guess nvidia installer didnt include that

edit2:
qvdpautest: cannot connect to X server
what now?

Maybe you need root priviledges.

i tried running it as root too. didnt work, seems like the 260.19.12 driver has lotsa loose ends as i had to relink the libvdpau.so
