Comment 7 for bug 993397

Hi

I have similar problem. Mplayer2 and Xorg are using about 20% CPU each during video playback.
It prints different errors when playing different movies, but usually the errors start to appear
after jumping back/forward using the arrow keys or switching to full screen. In mplayer movies don't
switch to full screen. HD movies have visible tearing.

The errors printed by mplayer2 look like below with several different function calls complaining about invalid handle.

[ vdpau] Error when calling vdp_output_surface_create: A catch-all error, used when no other error code applies.
...
[ vdpau] Error when calling vdp_presentation_queue_block_until_surface_idle: An invalid handle value was provided.

I use fresh install of kubuntu 12.04 on lenovo T61 with NVidia quadro NVS and nvidia-current drivers installed.
nvidia-current-updates have some general problem working with my laptop.
