Public bug reported: I installed nvidia-331-updates (331.38) for my Nvidia GT218 (NVS 300) and i'm trying to use vdpau in VLC. I enabled this by "hardware decoding" in Tools --> Preferences menu. It seems that it use VA-API to access vdpau features.
But It seems that it does not work. Take a look: VLC media player 2.1.2 Rincewind (revision 2.1.2-0-ga4c4876) [0xe06118] main libvlc: Lancement de vlc avec l'interface par défaut.
