Hi, you probably want to talk about this on the openchrome mailing list
rather than here.

MPlayer cvs **does not** include support for VIA vld-xvmc acceleration. You
need to apply the mplayer patch from openchrome.org for it to work.

The via xvmc driver does not currently support basic mc/idct xvmc
acceleration, it only supports the enhanced vld level xvmc acceleration.
