6 Thanks for the reply. Just downloaded the ffmpeg source distribution and
7 FWICT, the ffmpeg source distribution includes the necessary code:

9 ./libavcodec/vdpau.c
10 ./libavcodec/vdpau_internal.h
11 ./libavcodec/vdpau.h
12
13 Unless there are additional snippets, it appears that ffmpeg (for one....)
14 doesn't need vdpau.

24 Didn't work; FWICT, EXTRA_ECONF provides limited function

27 Is there a file anywhere that I can edit, which mandates that to use the
28 vdpau "use" flag, I have to have the vdpau package installed?
