I'll do a write-up when I'm feeling a little less nauseous. This will be 
the second time in a few days that I've said this, but I mean it.

If you are aiming for VDPAU through the Nvidia blob and without using 
the in-development state tracker for Nouveau, your system is going to 
end up in a rather messy configuration because of gl_conf conflicts.

It's much easier to achieve acceleration through Xv NV17 on Nouveau 
which at the very least supports MPEG1/2.

At any rate, I'm going to write about two windump methods. The classic 
dual-head approach and the through-Bumblebee approach.
