I updated the X-Updates ppa with libva 1.0.14 and with the newest version of vdpau-video. This solves, at the very least, the problem mentioned in comment #10, which was caused by a symbol mismatch between libva and vdpau-video.
The libva update will contain newer Intel code, and may address some issues on that platform. Keep in mind for Nvidia users you need not only libva1 and its associated packages but also the nvidia proprietary driver and the vdpau-va-driver package to be installed. That's in addition to VLC, and libvdpau1. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773466 Title: libva1 trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so ends with segmentation fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libva/+bug/773466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
