I was more concerned that the latest MythTV build didn't detect the vdpau headers from the latest drivers and that I may need to actually downgrade my driver to get this support to work.  In which case this would be more of a bug as I'm sure many developers just upgrade their drivers which may leave legacy header files laying around causing MythTV to detect vdpau because of those files.

libvdpau is a completely separate product from the nvidia drivers.

libvdpau is F/LOSS.  Nvidia drivers are not.
