Thanks for the reply. Just downloaded the ffmpeg source distribution and FWICT, the ffmpeg source distribution includes the necessary code: ./libavcodec/vdpau.c ./libavcodec/vdpau_internal.h ./libavcodec/vdpau.h Unless there are additional snippets, it appears that ffmpeg (for one....) doesn't need vdpau.

Didn't work; FWICT, EXTRA_ECONF provides limited function Is there a file anywhere that I can edit, which mandates that to use the vdpau "use" flag, I have to have the vdpau package installed? TIA
