    Mesa 10 in git has several fixes for r600g VDPAU support that VLC needs. 9.2 support was based mostly on getting mplayer to work.
    OK then, thanks for the information. Since I am running Kubuntu and would prefer a Qt GUI interface, I have installed smplayer alongside VLC. I will use smplayer for Kubuntu 13.10 (saucy) until such tme as Oibaf's PPA or something similar with Mesa 10 becomes available for saucy.

      Here is what I got:

      Code:

      VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower (revision 2.0.8a-0-g68cf50b)
      [0xa25108] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
      libva info: VA-API version 0.33.0

      libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/r600_drv_video.so
      libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1

      Fontconfig warning: FcPattern object size does not accept value "0"
      [h264 @ 0x7f7dd8c65d40] Cannot parallelize deblocking type 1, decoding such frames in sequential order
      It looks like VLC was trying to use VA-API (via libva) and not VDPAU.

      Code:
      $ ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/r600_drv_video.so                   
      ls: cannot access /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/r600_drv_video.so: No such file or directory
      There is no VA-API installed, obviously.

        Yes, it does.

        If you run vlc with -vv option, you might get further information. Look for "Available decoder output format"...

          It seems VLC doesn't support VDPAU until version 2.1, and then has more complete support in the current 2.2 development branch. See this blog post: http://www.remlab.net/op/vlc-vdpau.shtml

          I've just upgraded to Kubuntu 13.10 myself and was wondering the same thing. It seems VLC 2.1 came out too late to be included in repos but there's this PPA with stable or master builds, depending on how adventurous you're feeling: https://launchpad.net/~videolan

          I'm about to try it myself so will give a report.

            I couldn't actually get VDPAU to work with either VLC 2.1 or 2.2 in the end. There are new options for selecting the hardware acceleration backend but VDPAU didn't even appear in that list. Perhaps I missed something. VA-API didn't work with VLC on my machine either.

              The requirements for vdpau for vlc listed in the article you referenced were:

              VDPAU on VLC has the following prerequisites:

              libvdpau version 0.6,
              libavcodec version 55.1.0,
              vlc version 2.2 (actually 2.1.0-git-270-gf187b2e),
              a VDPAU driver, e.g. libvdpau-nvidia (part of the official NVIDIA drivers).
              Kubuntu 13.10 ships with libavcodec53.

                ???????????????????


                where are the exfat drivers? in 13.04 you would have the fuse ones in the software center, now they're gone??

                shouldn't the official samsung exfat driver have be made available by now?
