At the moment, I really don't know. It's worth bearing in mind that
VDPAU doesn't necessarily decode frames that fast (I'm thinking H264
1080 material) - it's main purpose is to offload that decoding onto
the gpu. Hence it's entirely conceivable that using VDPAU for
commflagging will be slower on faster machines - especially after the
overhead of moving the frames back into main memory.
