@c10ud Hi, I am aware of the 'enable gpu acceleration' option in vlc, but it never works. You have to compile vlc and ffmpeg with the proper options enabled for vaapi to work.
http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_VAAPI Moreover, the way VLC uses vdpau (through vaapi) is not efficient (see first paragraph of link above) so even if that is enabled cpu usage is still much higher than mplayer, mplayer2 and XBMC. VLC may have other nifty features, but it is not the best Linux mediaplayer if you watch a lot of HD videos IMO. If you have a vdpau enabled Nvidia card, mplayer usually works a lot better, and mplayer2 is the best. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/993397 Title: vdpau not working (well) with Ubuntu12.04 Unity To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/993397/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
