Unless this has changed by a very recent development I haven't heard of
yet, XvMC cannot be used to decode VC-1 and H264.  I recall some effort
underway to address this as a stopgap until VAAPI ascends from vaporware
status, but I don't believe has approached something resembling a usable
state yet.

So, on Linux, for the time being, we are left compensating for this lack
of capability by buying beefier CPUs (and further waiting for libavcodec
to support frame threading).
