Does vdpauinfo show that vdpau supports h264? I have seen that message
before on r600 cards with gallium. And getting those to support h264
is either difficult (extra/updated firmware files and git versions of
mesa) or impossible 3000HD cards don't support it.

With my nvidia card that does support h264 in vdpau, I am getting the
following message

Forced video codec: ffh264vdpau
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family
libavcodec version 55.24.100 (internal)
Cannot find codec 'h264_vdpau' in libavcodec...
VDecoder init failed :(
Forced video codec: ffmpeg12vdpau
Forced video codec: ffwmv3vdpau
Forced video codec: ffvc1vdpau
Forced video codec: ffodivxvdpau
Opening video decoder: [ffmpeg] FFmpeg's libavcodec codec family
Selected video codec: [ffh264] vfm: ffmpeg (FFmpeg H.264)


The missing codec issue bothers me a little, but it does play the video.
