The PI can in fact hardware-decode h.264, but I'm not sure it's a vdpau thing. If it is, it's not the same as the good ol' nVidia in my desktops - I was unable to get any vdpau stuff to work on my PI. Basically I wasn't able to get mplayer to do anything decent on it, which is why I have xbmc on it instead of mythtv. --
