VDPAU not working in 12.04?

[SeijiSensei]

NVIDIA GPU product  	 Device PCI ID 	VDPAU features
GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a 	0x053A 	-
GeForce 7050 PV / nForce 630a 	0x053B 	-

Following the link on that page to the codes for "VDPAU features" lists the explanations for the A, B and C feature sets. I don't see any entry corresponding to the hyphen. Moreover there are lots of cards above this one in the list that I know for sure do not support VDPAU like the 6xxx series that also have a hyphen in the same position.

What do you see that I don't?

You commented (post #9) that the 9300 is not listed as supported, and I responded that it is. You are now justifying your post by referring to the 7050 entry.

The OP has a nForce630

My comment was:
The "GeForce 9300 / nForce 730i" was the first good mobo GPU (w.r.t VDPAU)..actually some had HDMI & HDMI audio, not sure if it was real HDA..

The other notable mobo GPU was the 8200m & 8300m MCP78 512MB ram & vdpau B.

OK, I thought BicyclerBoy was responding to the OP, not to me.

The important thing is that we all seem to agree that the OP's adapter doesn't support VDPAU, which is what really matters here.

Check this wiki page for supported VDPAU adapter cards: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU. You will want one from the C row.

Personally I bought a "passive" GT 220 (meaning: no spinning fan). But that was a while ago, there must be better low-end cards available now.
