I think you mean ffmpeg/standard decoding with VDPAU render.  (Since 
VDPAU is both a decoder and renderer and OpenGL is only a renderer and 
ffmpeg/standard is a decoder.)  :)

FWIW, I'm using the same setup (ffmpeg/standard decoding and VDPAU 
rendering) with 0.24-fixes because I got occasional glitches 
(blockiness/pixelation and stutter and pauses) using VDPAU decoding.  
Playback is perfect when I don't use VDPAU for decoding.  I assumed it 
was slightly-glitchy video or some issue VDPAU has with the particular 
encoding options used by my broadcasters.
