As I just posted! Something wrong with the setup! Of course. (Sound of

Jean-Yves is correct. Colin, you need to turn off vdpau in configure and 
turn on xvmc. The driver does not support vdpau on your hardware but it 
does support xvmc. You can delete all the vdpau installs. More on xvmc 
on the wiki...
