Excellent, feature set C for vdpau.

My ION 1 has feature set B with the restriction on h264 files it will
accelerate, including:

"GPUs with this note may not support H.264 streams with the following
widths: 49, 54, 59, 64, 113, 118, 123, 128 macroblocks (769-784,
849-864, 929-944, 1009-1024, 1793-1808, 1873-1888, 1953-1968,
2033-2048 pixels)."

I have a lot of 576p files, 16:9, therefore exactly 1024 wide, and
vdpau does not work. Very annoying.

By the way how much did you pay for yours. An offlist reply is fine if
you don't want to tell the world.

For those interested it is Appendices A & H
