no to upgrade to 5.3 all you need to do is issue a yum upgrade.

I have centos 5.3 running VDPAU just fine.  I had no issues.  I am running
the Plus Kernel as well.  One thing you may try is compiling mplayer from
nvnews and testing VDPAU from there.  This will allow you to see if its a
driver issue or a myth issue.
