I confirmed earlier in this thread that I am successfully and stably
using VAAPI with my Sandy Bridge Core i3-2120T, and I gave details
about my system configuration (library versions, etc.). One key aspect
for me was to ensure the GUI painter was using Auto or OpenGL;
otherwise it fails with a generic error message.

'top' reports CPU usage around 6-7% for NTSC MPEG2 (recordings from
Hauppauge PVR-500) or x264-encoded DVDs.
