Actually - I am.  If I used VDPAU only for the video output device and 
let Mplayer choose the decoder (ffvc1 is what it comes up with) it 
works, albeit with high CPU (34%)

And, I just discovered today that if I specify the VDPAU VC1 code with 
-vc ffvc1vdpau it also works.  I think I might have misspelled the codec 
name in my previous  testing.

With mythtv, however, I get sound but no video.  I would like use the 
myth internal player for this as it handles refresh rate changes with my 
HDTV better.  Here is the mplayer command lines I am using that work 
outside of myth.:

 mplayer -vo vdpau -ao pulse -vc ffvc1vdpau 
/mnt/nfs/rtwdata/multimedia/video/bluray_rips/book_of_eli.m2ts
(16% CPU)

or

mplayer -vo vdpau -ao pulse 
/mnt/nfs/rtwdata/multimedia/video/bluray_rips/book_of_eli.m2ts (mplayer 
chooses ffvc1 for the codec (non vdpau).
(34% CPU)
