9300GE graphic card, H.264 HD hardware decoder error with VDPAU on ubuntu 9.04 32bit.

[Alan Sun]

Hi,

When I playback a H.264 HD movie with the VDPAU support of Nvidia 9300GE
graphic card (G98 Core), I got this error below:

Error 1 at libvo/vo_vdpau.c:258

I download the mplayer installation script from Nvidia official FTP download
site: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/vdpau/, and follow the instructions
in "README" file. Everything is OK during the SVN checkout, compile and
build process, finally I get the executable binary file "mplayer".

But when I launch it to open my movie file with this command: ./mplayer -vo
vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau my_movie.mkv, I get logs below:

And then, I execute this command to check: ./mplayer -vo help | grep vdpau,
the return value is: vdpau VDPAU with X11

I checked my graphic card, take apart the fan, and saw the character "G98"
on my core chip.

The driver version on my computer is: 185.18.31.

I got the Nvidia graphic card support list from here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU, and find my card is in the list:

Geforce 9300 GS, 9300 GE     G98     VP3[18]     SUPPORTED     Rare video
cards

Does anyone can help me on this?

Thank you!

BR.
