Howdy, and thank you for helping to improve Mythbuntu by opening this ticket. Many people are using VDPAU successfully, so the short answer is no, it is not a known widespread bug.  Does the frontend crash, or simply not display anything, or exit back?
Does it do this under all conditions (LiveTV, mythvideo, and recorded shows)?

If you haven't enabled http://www.mythbuntu.org/auto-builds, you might
consider doing that... upstream MythTV developers are constantly adding
bug fixes

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Incomplete

Bug description:
OS: 2.6.32-18-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 26 19:51:10 UTC 2010 i686
Nvidia driver (supplied by ubuntu 10.04 up to date): 195.36.15
Nvidia card : 9600 GT

Whenever I play a recording (from hdvpr, H,264 format) It fails toplay it.

Mythfrontend print the following error:

2010-03-30 09:38:06.019 VDPAU Error: Error at mythrender_vdpau.cpp:1447 (#1, Unknown)

2010-03-30 09:38:06.020 NVP(0), Error: Couldn't create VideoOutput instance. Exiting.

Is this an ubuntu bug? is there a work around or a fix?

thanks
