I've looked on the mplayer web site and it says you can use vdpau, but it doesn't say HOW. Would that be with something like "-vo vdpau" ??

I have the following in ~/.mplayer/config:

vo=vdpau vc=ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,

It forces mplayer to try the vdpau accelerated codecs first and then, if none of them work, to select a non-vdpau one that does.

Whether or not that's the *best* way, I don't know, but it does work.

Thanks, Joshua. I'll give that a try.
