I have an 8500GT 256MB running VDPAU on ubuntu 8.10.  I can not get it
to play any high def HD-PVR recordings.  It will play one 480i hd-pvr
recording I made.  All the 720p and 1080i recordings I tried generated
a segmentation fault in mythfrontend (error message like: failed to
create VDPAU buffers).  I thought my problem was not enough video ram.

I see the same all white OSD.
