Bug#511544: ffmpeg: Please support VDPAU

[Tony Houghton]

Package: ffmpeg
Severity: wishlist


NVidia drivers with VDPAU support are just about to become available in
experimental (see #501668 and #511524). Would it be possible to release
ffmpeg packages with VDPAU asap because I keep running into difficulties
going up the chain from drivers through libraries to applications,
trying to compile my own to be able to use VDPAU.

I realise this could be tricky because I don't suppose you really want
ffmpeg in general to depend on nvidia-glx.
