nvidia drivers only contain the "drivers" that includes the vdpau
driver libraries. MythTV doesn't link directly against those
libraries.

The VDPAU generic libraries are found in the package libvdpau1

Normally mythtv should have dependencies on that package.

before (and including) nvidia 185.xx ; the VDPAU libraries used to be
found with the nvidia drivers ; not anymore.
