Thank you! I somehow tagged the wrong -dev package. I am actually just 
compiling it just to be able to do so not that I am planning on 
switching quite yet. I plan on optimizing it for my processor and 
capture devices once I get a good base compile. I currently run your 
-fixes release being too lazy to patch vdpau support into .21 myself but 
since its in the base code now, I would like to get back to my optimized 
version once 0.22 is released or at least at -rc1.

BTW - Thanks for a great upgrade and all your support.
