If I do the following...

ls -lat `locate libXvMCNVIDIA`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 Apr 15 08:19 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1 
-> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.169.12
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     23 Apr 15 08:19 
/usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1 -> libXvMCNVIDIA.so.169.12
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 152808 Apr  5 20:05 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 139604 Apr  5 20:05 /usr/lib/libXvMCNVIDIA.so.169.12

...I see where everything (both libXvMCNVIDIA.so.1 & 
libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1) is pointing back to libXvMCNVIDIA.so.169.12. 
  So I am thinking everyone's probably correct about what is working for 
them.
