Hi,
as far as I think to know ;) (quite unsure about this), NVidia
has introduced a new protocol (?something like this), which is
useful for less-CPU-consumpting display of video streams.
MPlayer (and may be other video-related applikations) does
support vdpau.
First tests on my Linux-box with
mplayer -vo vdpau <video>
results in a movie "display" with best audio, no video at all
and concerns from mplayer:
[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
Unfortunately I have absolutely no clue for waht I have to search
for.
What/where I have to reconfig/recompile/install/etc. to make my Linux
box vdpau-aware.
Or is it such a new thing, that I better have to keep my fingers off
that?
Have a nice sunday!
Best regards,
Meino Cramer
