please excuse my ignorance, i'm an american. ;)  i do understand that
you may not be able to go to your local electronics'r'us and pick up a
VDPAU capable video card, but can't you order one online?  or is
shipping that terribly expensive?
i would think that purchasing with a credit card would take care of
the currency exchange issues.  or is it just that the online stores
don't offer shipping options outside the continental US?
if that's the case then we need to set something up to help our geek
friends abroad...
