xine-vdpau README:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, you want to give it a try, but wonder which steps are required.
Ok, so here it is:

0) you need nvidia's driver 180.22 or later.

1) get the sources:
svn co svn://jusst.de/xine-vdpau

2) compile the sources:
cd xine-vdpau
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install (as root)
    **(make sure that no other xine-lib installation will conflict with this one)

3) edit your xine configuration
nano $HOME/.xine/config (if it does not exist, first run "xine --no-logo" then quit.
search for "engine.buffers.video_num_frames" and set it to 22

4) running the beast:
xine -verbose /path/to/a/working/sample
    ** --verbose will print some usefull things in your console (in case of problems, 
        the developers will ask you to give this output, at least)

5) update your svn copy quite often

6) don't blame us if it crashes, burn you gpu (unlikely:) or anything else.

FAQ:

Q:
  Why my file plays fine with mplayer-vdpau and not with xine-vdpau?
A:
  We are not using the nvidia's libavcodec patch.
  We are writing decoders from scratch.
  So don't expect them to be as mature as ffmpeg ones. Not yet.

Q:
  Why mpeg2 doesn't use less cpu than software decoder?
A:
  Because at that moment it does a lot of memcpy. This will be fixed soon, but that's not
  a priority. Stability is our focus.

Q:
  Is deinterlacing working?
A:
  Yes. It's already quite good (doing 50i->50p), but could even be better in the future.

Q:
  How do i get it working with VDR, Kaffeine, whatever.
A:
  Ask VDR, Kaffeine, whatever developers.
    (Note: for kaffeine you are lucky, i'm going to tell you the tip.
     Build kaffeine like that: ./configure --without-xcb && make && make install)

Q:
  How can i contact you?
A:
  IRC: #xine-vdpau on freenode
  MAIL: http://lists.kafic.ba/mailman/listinfo/xine-vdpau
  Eventually, nvnews.
