    To have vdpau enable at compiling time make sure you have the latest nvidia drivers or beta drivers (190.22 and above) to make this easy on yourself add the nvidia vdpau binary ppa https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa or you can compile it yourself ( a lot of hassle since you will have to reinstall the driver for every new kernel update that comes through)
    Next you can either add that repos version of mplayer/smplayer or compile mplayer yourself and also you have to configure mplayer/smplayer to use vdpau, the easiest way is by selecting vdpau via the smplayer interface, otherwise you will have to enable vdpau support by editing the mplayer config file located in your .mplayer folder like this
    Code:
    # Write your default config options here!
    vo=vdpau,xv,
    ao=pulse,alsa,
    vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,
    ac=dts,fftruehd,
    autoq=100
    #vf=pp=de,hqdn3d
    font='Bitstream Vera Serif'
    #lavdopts=threads=2
    These settings listed are all available via smplayer preferences.

    To go the repos way just add this ppa and all is done automatically including latest driver and mplayer. https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa

    @ cor2y

    I tried it that way and ./configure was reporting vdpau not found

    @ Linuxforall

    I installed the vdpau ppa mplayer and can playback with -vo vdpau but it doesn't seem to make any difference to smoothness of playback, and I cannot use any of the -vc options, no video playback.


    I'll got back and start again, see if that makes any difference

    Re: Howto: Utilise the svn MPlayer to Improve Karmic Koala's 'mplayer-nogui' Package

    with the default packages mplayer-nogui, i am able to play video files from within a rar archive by executing the following:

    Code:
    unrar p -inul file.rar | mplayer -
    However, using the svn mplayer-nogui compiled with the instructions from this thread, I get errors and it won't play.

    Can anyone else confirm this behavior? Is there something missing from the package made here that is in the official mplayer-nogui package? Is there a way to determine what was configured in that package, and possibly compare it to this package? Error log below:

    There has been a small change in MPlayer which now requires something like the following:

    unrar p -inul file.rar | mplayer -cache 2048 -

    You need the 195 nvidia drivers to use VDPAU with the recent revisions of MPlayer.

    I forgot to mention that this little snippet and a great deal more is actually contained in one of my most neglected guides:

    Top 10 Tricks and Tips for the svn MPlayer
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1154431

    I will not reveal how much time I spent on that guide which has not been a big hit at all .

    I finally figured it out. I had a vf line in my config to deal with de-interlace-ing dvb video. I created some profiles for different file types and now vdpau works properly and handles the vc lines in mplayer.

    Also found that I can't include "menu=yes" in the [default] section when trying to use vdpau.
