Seems in number terms that I am also mistaken, the 8400 was but no longer is the minimum!
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.36.03/README/README.txt seems to me to be more authoritative.  Still maybe the wiki 
is more accurate than the Manufacturer.  (Serendipitous ambiguous potential sarcasm accepted)
According to the references a more recent 8200 should be ok too.

If not fixed yet (?) I wonder what the chipset on the OP's motherboard is?  Also I note the various default vdpau settings on 9.10 
are a little different from JYA's earlier recommendations (that also worked for me)
