That's why I stay with Gnome Mplayer, its vdpau support is better than in SMplayer and consumes almost no CPU when video is paused, unlike SMplayer.
I just use plain mplayer, or these days mplayer2

Hmm, color conversions with GLSL. Am I the only one who want to show it to that Xvideo-on-GLAMOR guy? He had writing exactly that on the agenda.

And I wouldn't say it completely devoids the point of using VDPAU, it just devoids the power efficiency point. The decoding and displaying of the video will still be smoother (less choppy) than with CPU decoding. I'm not sure WHY VLC uses more CPU usage, but apparently it does. Interesting.
