Description:

Please split vdpau libraries from nvidia-utils, so that mythtv and probably more apps can be built with vdpau support without having to depend on nvidia-utils.
In the current state this feature can not be supported, because it would be an inconveniance to non-nvidia users and impossible for legacy card owners.

I have attached a modified PKGBUILD that will build the separate packages
   nvidia-utils.tar.bz2 (1.6 KiB)
This task depends upon

This won't happen. Nvidia released a BSD-licensed standalone libvdpau source that should be used to construct the libvdpau package. libvdpau will disappear from the nvidia drivers in a while.
