 * VDPAU hardware acceleration has two modules
 * - VDPAU decoding
 * - VDPAU presentation
 *
 * The VDPAU decoding module parses all headers using FFmpeg
 * parsing mechanisms and uses VDPAU for the actual decoding.
 *
 * As per the current implementation, the actual decoding
 * and rendering (API calls) are done as part of the VDPAU
 * presentation (vo_vdpau.c) module.
