vdpau and XvMC
When nouveau support them, I'll reconsider. Buts its been years now,
and still no support for them in nouveau.
The development of XvMC and vdpau support is in progress right now ---
take a look at
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix/
and specifically
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/
The latter site comments that at the moment closed-source firmware is
typically needed for modern hardware. While nouveau itself refuses to
include it (and I can imagine Fedora too), it can be obtained either
manually or if your particular Linux distro provides it as a package.
There is a single-entry list of distros that do so far: Archlinux.
Maybe a nice small project for a rpmfusion package?
HTH, :-)
