VDPAU Info Tool

[WalterK]

Here is vdpinfo.
Created to tell you if your vid card has support for the new vdpau decoder added to the latest stable nvidia driver

Unfortunately my new middle of the road 9800GT only has support for, MPEG1, MPEG2 and H264 using vdpau and not WMV VC-1 decoding on the gpu.

You will need the latest stable nvidia drivers installed, 180.22

not only middle of the road 9800, but 'highway" 260 does not support a hw.decoding of VC-1 :)

Than how did neuron2 make it in DGVC1DecNV?

NVCUVID takes care of the work that the VP2 hardware decoder can't do (bitstream decoding). Just like the proprietary VC-1 DXVA decoders do on Windows. IIRC, NVIDIA has hinted that VDPAU may gain similar functionality in the future.

Thanks! Finally an answer.
