So after a reboot (previously done countless times) XvMC appears to be working and there is no mention of VDPAU. But the video playback is worse than ever. There is a constant stream of "NVP prebuffering error"s and the CPU is still maxed out.
I doubt that it is related but the underclocking won't stick. I can even run the script manually, or even manually enter the nvidia- settings commands from the command line. There are no errors but also no results. Only after going into the nvidia-settings GUI and making the change does the clock actually change. Any thoughts? Paul, did you have any problems playing back HD? Has anyone gotten this set up to work? Thanks.
