When in conversation does anyone know how to pronounce this?
Well VDPAU is an abbreviation for "Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix" so I guess that it should really be pronunciated as each letter by itself, so "V.D.P.A.U." but most people that I personally know pronunce it is "V.D.-PAU" or "V.D.-PAO"

You should at the very least still link to the table from the VDPAU page, or update the table to include Non-NVIDIA GPUs, for now I have replaced the table. —Preceding

I did link to the table (you removed it), and information about all non-NVIDIA VDPAU GPUs was (and still is) in the article, but not in the table I removed. I think your edit was not very constructive, so I reverted it. Please feel free to discuss this further here. CE --

FFmpeg
FFmpeg does not support VDPAU. It does support MPlayer's VDPAU implementation through libavcodec (libavcodec would support any application's VDPAU implemtation, but all other Liux media players decided not to use libavcodec's VDPAU code). --

VDPAU support through Gallium in Mesa
A VDPAU state tracker has been added to the Gallium library in Mesa for almost 2 years now, bringing a basic (as of now) level of support to the Gallium-based drivers. — Preceding

According to the
official VDPAU website, VDPAU does not support VP8 or VP9.
You can also browse the
source code, and see that there's no mention of VP8/VP9.
The
email linked to by
User:Bassmadrigal talks about some unofficial patch that was never accepted upstream.
Phoronix
says: .
The GStreamer people also
talk about "VPDAU is dead".
While I can't find an official source saying that VPDAU is dead, it is very clear that it doesn't support VP8 or VP9.
It just doesn't seem right to have that information listed there without anything to back it up... especially in the article's lead. Maybe it could just be stated what formats VDPAU does support (which is already covered in the
Functional range of the interface) and that VDPAU is being replaced by NVDEC. I don't think that we should be adding every future format to this article, because that could add quite a few items in 5, 10, or 20 years. Saying something isn't supported without references seems to fringe on
WP:OR, even though many people would come to the same conclusion. What are your thoughts on that? --

I agree that it might be inappropriate in the intro without any references. Although I wouldn't call the Phoronix references OR (one literally says "NVIDIA's VDPAU-successor, NVDEC"), they still aren't ideal as they don't go in on any detail on that point. I'm OK with leaving the sentence out until we find a better reference. (BTW sorry for my late response; didn't see yours)

I wasn't considering the Phoronix article to be OR for the NVDEC (which is why I used it as a reference for the sentence mentioning NVDEC is superseding VDPAU), just that it doesn't mention anything about VP8/VP9 not being supported with VDPAU. That conclusion can be surmised by looking at the documents for VDPAU and NVDEC and see that nothing mentions VP8/VP9 for VDPAU. But I don't think it needs to be stated what is *not* supported (especially without references), since the article does state what *is* supported. --

Ah yes, I agree. It is not useful to list what's not supported. I really hope that Nvidia is going to clear things up by doing a proper announcement. Thanks for your improvements!
