I have come to find that you can get rather decent playback from at
least VDPAU Normal with these xorg.conf settings and some testing on
deinterlacers. These settings were mostly posted in a recent thread:
http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2010-December/306093.html
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
Option "UseEvents" "1"
Option "DPI" "100x100"
Option "NoLogo" "1"
Option "HWCursor" "Off"
Option "IgnoreEDID" "On"
Option "NoDDC" "On"
Option "TripleBuffer" "True"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
YMMV.
