Are you sure that your nvidia driver is working properly?

You can check this for the kernel module:
modinfo nvidia

You can check the xorg.conf to make sure it's loaded and mentioned there:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf

Does it indicate the driver is loading from /var/log/Xorg.0.log?

Did VDPAU work before and stop working after a particular update?

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:

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

thanks
