VDPAU is only available on 8200 and newer series NVIDIA cards.

Use XvMC on 7000 and lower series NVIDIA cards.

Use XvMC on Intel chipsets with the 2.9.0 or 2.9.1 driver.

Use the trash bin for everything else except ATI. I am not sure what 
works with ATI, maybe only XV (Anyone know? Please update the wiki re 
XvMC. I know the radeon driver does something, but I am not sure what.)
