The odd things is that VLC uses/used to? check that information before feeding the video to the decoder, while others implementations (like the original one in mplayer done by the Nvidia devs) do/did? not bother.
Many files either have an incorrect level set or they subtly exceed the restrictions of a common level, e.g. 4.1. So strict checks will make many files non-playable with VDPAU despite actually working fine without checks. That's why some players don't check the level.
That said, I wonder if the level 4.1 returned on UVD 3/4 for H.264 high profile is actually correct. These UVD variants can easily play 1080p60, right? Even UVD 2 can do that, I think. Level 4.1 only allows up to 1080p30. So wouldn't level 4.2 be the right choice? Or are there some restrictions on the HW decoder that make it formally not capable of level 4.2?
