This seems to be due to an API change in libav. They dropped the old
API for using VDPAU decoding, which broke every application that uses
VDPAU through libav. https://libav.org/releases/libav-10.5.release

Bug description:
After upgrading a Kubuntu Trusty x86_64 system to Utopic, VDPAU
support has stopped working in all applications that use libav. In
mplayer2, it prints "Cannot find codec 'h264_vdpau' in libavcodec..."
and in VLC I get "[00007f9090000958] vdpau_avcodec generic error:
decoder profile not supported: 6".
