When I heard that Jaunty would have support for Nvidia cards and VDPAU as well, I thought it meant all out media players would be able to play 1080p without eating up sizable processor time on all 4 cores of my Q9550.
Beeep wrong!
But, since it's Ubuntu, we have the oh-so-magical Ubuntu forums to get a fix.
The shortened summary is:
$sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion nvidia-180-libvdpau-dev
$sudo apt-get build-dep mplayer
$svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
$cd mplayer
$./configure
$make
$./mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau /path/to/file
