Comment (by Martin Konopka <martin.konopka@…>):

 Replying to [comment:3 robert.hogberg@…]:
 > To use vaapi you have to use the OpenGL paint engine. Are you using
 OpenGL?
 >
 > I run Ubuntu 12.04, MythTV v0.25-137-g3b2103f, and fglrx 8.960 driver
 (from Ubuntu repository) on a motherboard using the AMD E-350 chipset and
 with the QT paint engine I get the same error as you, but switching to
 OpenGL paint engine I can get vaapi to run (but I'm seeing #10113).

 Thanks Robert, switching the paint engine to OpenGL fixes the issue, but
 I'm also getting wrong picture dimensions as reported in #10113. I think
 it would be a good idea to give the user a hint to also switch the paint
 engine when using vaapi.
