Bug#610204: smplayer: ffodivxvdpau should not be enabled on all vdpau chipsets

[Mattia Dongili]

Package: smplayer
Version: 0.6.9-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
adding the patch at #609815 on 0.6.9-2 broke playing videos with mplayer
on one of my computers.
You can see other people having problems with ffodivxvdpau here:
http://smplayer.berlios.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=285
and here a statement about the necessity to specify the correct -vc list
for each model of the GPUs (i.e. including a decoder that is not
supported by the gpu will break):
http://www.spinics.net/lists/mplayer-users/msg05291.html (and follow-up)

My GPU doesn't support feature set C according to [1]:

So please either rollback the patch that was introduced in -2 or
implement a more forgiving alternative for Nvidia GPUs not supporting
feature set C.

Thanks!
