For Radeon cards upstream currently only supports accelerated video decoding through the dedicated video decoding chip on UVD 2.2+ [1]. On other Radeon cards it falls back to shader based decoding, which is much slower and only supports mpeg1/2.
My advice is not to use/install this package for Radeon cards < UVD 2.2 and wait for proper support from upstream. Thanks, Andreas.
