Hi,

I'm trying to get XBMC to use VDPAU to render videos. The option is selected in the configuration menu, but I still see CPU spikes when rendering high-bitrate scenes.

The video card is a Geforce 8600M.

Looking through the XBMC log file, I found this excerpt:

Does anyone know what is going wrong?
