I'm seeing this issue as well; vdpau-va-driver is installed, but any H.264
file fails to decode, with only artifacts on the screen.

For me, just turning off VAAPI (keeping VDPAU on) solves the problem.
This is on a GT218 (NVIDIA ION). It would seem natural that XBMC should
prefer the native VDPAU API rather than VDPAU through VAAPI on NVIDIA cards,
but I'm not sure how easy this is to detect.
