What I meant is, VLC (< 2.2?) doesn't seem to use VDPAU at all, and you can check that simply by looking at cpu usage. The debugging output when using the -v flag is almost cryptic... but you can see there that it isn't using VDPAU.
Anyway, VLC itself seems to be buggy as hell. mpv is great.

It still misses xvmc however. Also there is no reference to any of the 3 bug reports about it in the changelog.

Hi folks, I was wrong, VLC in Ubuntu 13.10 indeed doesn't utilize vdpau. For some reason I had to set it's video output manually to glx-whatever, after I had replaced the standard xorg/mesa-stack with oibaf's stuff. Yesterday (with current oibaf stack) I could remove that option and it still works fine. I doesn't seem to use vdpau in any case and also it's not an output option. Sorry for the confusion.
What I wrote is still valid for xine though.

And even if it would be true, still the advantage in speed rocks. And even if you dont use a ssd this advantage is even bigger.

Originally posted by Vim_User View PostNot edgar_wibeau, but anyways, in Slackware VLC 2.1.3 uses VDPAU, but it comes with heavy stuttering and artifacts, so I wouldn't say it works. On the same setup MPlayer works fine with VDPAU, so I wouldn't consider this a driver issue, but a problem of VLC.
