OK, for those, who - apart from or instead of MPlayer - want to use VLC, there is a way, based on Cutting Edge Repositories and H3g3m0n's developments. I've just checked it on my Dell Mini 12 - works pretty fine. It goes as follows:
1) Add repo from Cutting Edge and update:
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/cutting-edge-multimedia && sudo apt-get update
2) Install VLC and its dependencies (remember to have Ubuntu unverse repos turned on):
Code:
sudo apt-get install vlc
3) Resolve the problems with libva:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libva-x11-0.31.1.1.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libva-x11-0.31.0.6.so.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libva-glx-0.31.1.1.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libva-glx-0.31.0.6.so.1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libva-0.31.1.1.so.1.0.3 /usr/lib/libva-0.31.0.6.so.1
4) Set in VLC's preferences video output to x11.
Good luck!
