Hi I'v been playing with it from the first nvidia release. To my knowledge there are patches for mplayer, vlc , xine, and mythtv, However I don't beleive any are in an official release yet(not that mplayer does official releases anymore). But Yes I'm looking forward to this being supported all around.
