Found a partial workaround. Disable 'sync to vbank' in both ccsm (under OpenGL)and Nvidia Xserver Settings (under Xserver Xvideo Settings) and vdpau works again for mplayer2 (haven't tested with mplayer)
This however doesn't work for xbmc(cpu usage still at ~60% with vdpau under Unity 3D and it drops to ~6% in Gnome Shell) Also, disabling 'sync to vbank' has the side effect of introducing tearing when rotating the Compiz cube. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/983277 Title: vdpau HW decode not working with session types 'ubuntu' and 'gnome- classic' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/983277/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
