It certainly makes sense that the video would be worked on before the OSD. We 
all have to remember that nothing VDPAU-related is officially released yet. 
You can't expect pre-release code to perform pefectly, or at all for that

It's really remarkable that the devs have got on the VDPAU issue as quickly as 
they have.
