Looking at the screenshots you posted triggered a memory - you have<br>
the "Max CPUs" setting as 1 in your custom setup. I think that it may<br>
also be 1 in the default VDPAU setup. But it should be set to the<br>
number of CPU cores you have in the VDPAU case. I seem to remember<br>
that when I first started using VDPAU, back about 8 or 9 years ago, I<br>
had some strange things happening until I changed that setting. So if<br>
your CPU has more than one core, try changing that setting.<br>

I have been running 720p as I have said. I changed that to 1080p and the progress bar works just fine. The only problem with this is that the projector is 720p.
