Can anyone help me understand whether VDPAU is even supported on

I don't know about that, but I do know that on F24 the nouveau driver
would freeze up solid as a rock once every few days with my 750 Ti
card, so I gave up and installed the nvidia binary drivers from
rpmfusion, which have not frozen up once.
I used the NVidia drivers for a few months, but upon every reboot
I'd get the "oh no! something has gone wrong" message:

Rebooting into single user and re-doing the install process for the
video drivers would work, but it was a real pain to do that every
time (the power in our neighborhood is ... finicky, so reboots are
sadly a frequent-ish occurrence).
I finally got tired of doing that on every reboot and decided to
switch over to Nouveau, but if Nouveau can't do things like hardware
acceleration on a two year-old card then I might have to switch back
to the NVidia drivers.

The only issue I have had with the latest F23/24 is in F24 and the
latest kernel without signed drivers. akmods-nvidia wouldn't allow the
module to be loaded if I had full secure boot. If I select other OS in
the BIOS, I have no issue loading the driver.
As I needed full acceleration with my video cards, I went with the
rpmfusion akmods.
