Catalyst 10-6
gstreamer from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gstreamer-dev...s_filter=lucid
gstreamer-ffmpeg 10.10.5
ffmpeg and x264 built from svn/git yesterday
libva 0.31.1-sds3
xvba 0.7.1
gstreamer-vaapi 0.2.5
Do I need to build gstreamer myself?
I was trying several different video formats (avi, flv, mp4, mpeg) using gst-launch. I'm not on that partition at the moment, but I can get you more detailed output if you think it will be helpful. Thanks for your efforts/time/attention.

It was a very short test with xbmc I found already 2 other bugs in xmbc while testing it. One crash with fglrx (not nvidia) even with software decoding. vaapi is choppy in xbmc with nvidia, intel and ati. Some xbmc dev should fix it...

However, when it works, everything is offloaded to the GPU unlike NVIDIA for VC-1 and earlier GPUs.

What can nvidia users with vdpau do that I can't?

don't expect to experience wonderful ATI video playback on Linux that's elegantly offloaded to the GPU in the manner that NVIDIA customers can with VDPAU and GeForce hardware.
