That's where my library is, too. (I also use a 64-bit OS.)

Although yum and the like should normally do the following steps
automatically, see if in /etc/ld.so.conf you have a line like

/usr/lib64/nvidia-graphics-180.29

if not. add it. Then, 'sudo ldconfig -v'. Make sure something like

/usr/lib64/nvidia-graphics-180.29:
        libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.180.29
        libnvidia-tls.so.1 -> libnvidia-tls.so.180.29
        libvdpau_nvidia.so -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.180.29
        libGLcore.so.1 -> libGLcore.so.180.29
        libvdpau_trace.so -> libvdpau_trace.so.180.29
        libnvidia-cfg.so.1 -> libnvidia-cfg.so.180.29
        libcuda.so.1 -> libcuda.so.180.29
        libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 -> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.180.29
        libvdpau.so.1 -> libvdpau.so.180.29

appears in the output. If so, try restarting mythfrontend and see if
VDPAU works now.
