Comment:

 Closing as Won't Fix but only because there isn't a Have No Idea How to
 Fix option.

 With the various changes to VDPAU buffer handling and UI image caching,
 the likelihood of a 256Mb card working is now improved (though I still
 wouldn't recommend it).

 The underlying issue remains the same however. With VDPAU, the decoder
 object is not created until after all other video playback objects
 (ringbuffer, player, video output, buffers etc) and ffmpeg is looking to
 decode the first frame. If creating the decoder then fails at this point,
 there is no obvious and easy route back to a valid video output.

 The error messaging could do with fixing though.
