Thanks to Travis and Mitchell, vdpau is working like a charm!

I found out, that the memory displayed by nvidia-settings is wrong.
Based on this knowledge i changed the ram settings in bios, after the
VideoRam setting in xorg.conf didn't fix anything.

Now my cpu usage dropped about 70-90% percent when watching tv, and hd
content(1080p) is finally watchable (at 15% cpu usage).
