Comment 12 for bug 595661

Daniël: Bug #531692 is not a duplicate of this bug. That one is about video acceleration support for the video players that use gstreamer (eg Totem, not VLC) and this one is about support for the Intel video card driver.

Btw h264 decoding is still not supported with Intel 4500MHD in Ubuntu 11.10:

$ vainfo

libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
