"We had used the latest MPlayer SVN code and used the NVIDIA-supplied patches that add VDPAU support to mplayer, libavcodec, libavutil, and ffmpeg. This was done on an Ubuntu 8.10 system with the Linux 2.6.27 kernel, X Server 1.5.2, and the NVIDIA 180.08 driver. We had monitored the CPU usage while playing back a sample H.264 video using the GL2, X-Video, and finally VDPAU. The graphics card in use was a NVIDIA GeForce 9800GTX 512MB running at its stock frequencies. The motherboard in use was the ASUS P5E64 Professional and the processor being used was an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400."
