This is Bullsh!t, if they don't want VDPAU in the livecd, they just don't install it. If I'm reading correctly, zgreg asked for VDPAU in the repos, and they gave him a retarded excuse.
I guess the real reason is that debian has NOT enabled it ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=656719 ), and ubuntu won't do it until debian does... which is also stupid. Seriously, if they want to benefit their users, both distros SHOULD enable VDPAU, OpenCL ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugr...cgi?bug=717500 ), video encoding, etc. They should have done it when they were asked to do it. We ubuntu and debian users should pressure them to do it. This is one of the most stupid things I've seen: having a really good driver crippled, and they are NOT giving us their (real) reasons.
