This seems to be due to an API change in libav.  They dropped the old
API for using VDPAU decoding, which broke every application that uses
VDPAU through libav.  https://libav.org/releases/libav-10.5.release

  After upgrading a Kubuntu Trusty x86_64 system to Utopic, VDPAU
  support has stopped working in all applications that use libav.  In
  mplayer2, it prints "Cannot find codec 'h264_vdpau' in libavcodec..."

  decoder profile not supported: 6".
