http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123072


Added initial support for PureVideo-like features on Linux via the new VDPAU API (see the vdpau.h header file installed with the driver).


YES!!!!!!!!!

Nice!! :D

the hardware acceleration has begun XD

[kinematic]

The big boys simply can't ignore GNU/Linux any longer. It's being adopted all over the world @ an increased rate so ignoring it is going to mean less revenue and @ the end of the day that's the only thing that matters.......money.

nice!

found a benchmark: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=nvidia_vdpau&num=1

[WalterK]

Yeah i read the phoronix article looks promising.
AMD/ATI and Intel is going to have to accelerate their own development now.

Hi man!

just ffvc1vdpau seems not working with the m2ts files! what to do? please help!
Does it work with other VC-1 files then? Which GPU do you have (at least for now, VC-1 decoding seems to require a G98 chip like in the newer 8400 GS versions).

[teox99]

the same error with the movie exmple in the README file
http://samples.mplayerhq.hu.nyud.net/V-codecs/WVC1/FlightSimX_720p60_51_15Mbps.wmv
./mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffvc1vdpau FlightSimX_720p60_51_15Mbps.wmv

just with .ts files played with codec ffh264vdpau the acceleration is enabled, fantastic!

but m2ts plays well only with framedropping in standard mplayer version.
I need the acceleration for Bluray file!!! please help me!!!

I have a GeForce 8500GT 1GB VRAM !

I have a GeForce 8500GT 1GB VRAM !
According to the announcement (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-November/040279.html), VC-1 hardware decoding is not supposed to work (yet) with that card:
VC-1 support in NVIDIA's VDPAU implementation currently requires GeForce
9300 GS, GeForce 9200M GS, GeForce 9300M GS, or GeForce 9300M GS.

[klaos]

I'am compile mplayer with patch nvidia , but compiled without codecs ffhvdpau264 , only compile with driver output vpau.... , I 'am need help compile mplayer

[nm]

Did you use the checkout-patch-build.sh script to build MPlayer? Note that the H.264 decoder is named ffh264vdpau, not ffhvdpau264.

I'am have installed, nvidia driver 180.06 beta

My Nvidia CArd is G-force 8500GT 128bits 512MB PCI-E

[nm]

Do you get that with all files? People have reported similar (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123095&page=4#50) problems (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=123095&page=7#93) at the nV News forum so it's probably a bug in the MPlayer/libavcodec code or the driver.

Edit: driver version 180.08 was just released with some fixes to VDPAU, so you might want to try it.

[ggking7]

at least for now, VC-1 decoding seems to require a G98 chip like in the newer 8400 GS versions


Are you sure? I thought it was only working with a 9200 or 9300.

No, I haven't tried it myself or heard that anyone has. However, the list in the NVIDIA announcement suggests that VC-1 is supported in G98 chips, and AFAIK, that would include newer 8400 GS cards. I'm guessing that this was omitted from the announcement to avoid confusing or misdirecting people because there are also earlier G86 versions of 8400 GS. I could be wrong though.

If someone has a G98 8400 GS, I'd be interested to hear if it can decode VC-1 with the current VDPAU implementation.

So would I. Please let us know if you can.

Are there any Blu-Ray discs that would not be accelerated with a G98 card (assuming your supposition is correct)?

All decrypted Blu-ray sources should be decodable, at least when bugs have been ironed out.

[ggking7]

Any more info on whether or not a G98 8400 can decode VC-1? My video card is crapping out and I need to buy another ASAP.

[ggking7]

nm, turns out you were right on:

nm, turns out you were right on:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=124433I'm pretty sure the 9500 has a G96 core (no full VC1 acceleration), unless they've switched very recently.

[ggking7]

It sounds like you're right squid, and I've got return shipping and a restocking fee in my future.
