I'm about 2 weeks into playing with VDPAU with mplayer and not having
very good luck with stability.. Here's what I'm running currently:

Linux version 2.6.27.25-170.2.72.fc10.x86_64 (fedora10 / mythdora)

NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  185.18.31  Tue Jul 28
17:52:27 PDT 2009 (atrpms)

Model:           GeForce 9600 GSO
IRQ:             16
Video BIOS:      62.92.5e.00.00
Card Type:       PCI-E
DMA Size:        40 bits
DMA Mask:        0xffffffffff
Bus Location:    02.00.0


I'm having problems with x264 playback and hard-locks with
MPLAYER-CVS.  The video will freeze, the audio will stop, and the
machine has to be reset. Playback with anything other than VDPAU is
weeks stable, having no CPU/GPU heat problems (gkrellm/nvclock
monitored).

I realized VDPAU is still very beta, but I was curious what code revs
people were running, and what kind of stability I should expect.
