Bug 1257

Description of problem:

Enabling hardware acceleration for video decoding does not work with ffmpeg and vlc with nvidia graphic cards because VAAPI backend driver for VDPAU is missing in the Mageia 1 distribution. A solution is proposed below.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.7.3

How reproducible:

Launch a H264 video in vlc with ffmpeg hardware decoding enabled.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch vlc from a console and enable ffmpeg hardware decoding in settings of vlc (preferences -> All -> Input/Codecs -> Video Codecs -> FFmpeg -> Hardware Decoding).
2.Open a H264 video (Menu -> Media -> Open File) 
3.When appriopriate backend driver is installed, vlc says (on the console) that it is using libva 0.32 for hardware acceleration.

Proposed solution:

You may try to use/modify the spec file below or to import the spec file from Mandriva 2011.0:

%define upstreamname vdpau-video
