You already corrected the vdpau USE flag thing. As for smplayer, you
should select "gpu" (it might be named "opengl", depending on the
version of mpv) in "General" in the "Video" tab.
In "Performance", you can set "Hardware decoding" to "vpau". If that
doesn't work, then "vdpau-copy". There's also "cuda" and "cuda-copy".
Not sure which works better.
All this assumes you use mpv in smplayer, not mplayer. Using mpv is
highly recommended.
