 Why aren't the headers packaged separately instead of being copied to
 both ffmpeg and mplayer?

 In all cases, please add a note to debian/copyright where these come
 from

This is IMHO up to the Debian NVIDIA maintainers (CCed).

Done for ffmpeg.

thanks

VDPAU support is implemented for ffmpeg now by including the headers along with 
the Debian packaging directory and providing the proper cflags. Should be 
included in the next upload.

Bug#511544: ffmpeg: Please support VDPAU

2009-01-11 Thread Tony Houghton
Package: ffmpeg
Severity: wishlist


NVidia drivers with VDPAU support are just about to become available in
experimental (see #501668 and #511524). Would it be possible to release
ffmpeg packages with VDPAU asap because I keep running into difficulties
going up the chain from drivers through libraries to applications,
trying to compile my own to be able to use VDPAU.

I realise this could be tricky because I don't suppose you really want
ffmpeg in general to depend on nvidia-glx.

this is not possible to do at this point, because in order to enable
VDPAU support, the headers need the be available. since the headers are
currently in non-free, there is no way for ffmpeg to build depend on
that.

the next problem is the license of the VDPAU libraries, I imagine.

nvidia has already been approached by mandriva and ubuntu, and they are
considering releasing the adaptation library seperatly under a free
license.  The adaptation library is a very small library that is
supposed to dispatch request to different VDPAU implementation. Nvidia
wants to invite other driver developers to develop other implementation
for other hardware, but AFAIUI, there is only the (non-free) nvidia
one. Currently this adaptation library is included into
nvidia-glx. Factoring it out to a package in main would be a prequesite
for enabling VDPAU support in ubuntu. Until this happens, I'd suggest
compiling ffmpeg from svn.
