Try the snap from https://launchpad.net/~nteodosio/+snap/chromium-browser-hwacc/+build/1804711 I got VDAVideoDecoder working doing

$ LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/ chromium --use-gl=egl --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder --ignore-gpu-blocklist --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workaround video.mp4

The cpu usage is quite lower trying on a local video downloaded from https://github.com/chthomos/video-media-samples as an example

the LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH override shouldn't be needed in the next build Nathan started.

Using vulkan isn't working and the UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder option is deprecated according to upstream, I commented about that on https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1236697 but meanwhile it seems to be working (tested on a gen10 intel CPU)
