It turns out xbmc and vlc support both vdpau and vaapi. mplayer supports vdpau and also vaapi via libvdpau-va-gl (x11 overlay). I haven't installed mplayer2 but it sounds like it supports vaapi. Are all the smart people switching from mplayer to mplayer2? For me: xbmc accelerates, vlc does not, mplayer claims it's accelerating via vdpau in the console output but all I get is a black window. Have you tried vlc? - Grant
