According to the nvidia forums the 6200 is not actually XvMC enabled under
8756 – or from what I can gather under 8774 either...  - I know because I’ve
been struggling to get mine doing XvMC…

Mine produces the same errors as you've posted later and the same errors
with mplayer as is in the linked thread.... damnit I bought this card cause
it was the cheapest supposedly XvMC enabled PCIe card... and now it's not -
apparently all the cards >6600 work fine with XvMC... ripped off!
