As the NEWS file says: "Version 0.7.0 - March 27, 2011 This is a major new release due to signficant additions to API, framework, and build. Build [...] * Disabled VDPAU by default and added --avformat-vdpau to enable it." So ebuilds since 0.7.0 shouldn't be using use vdpau || export MLT_NO_VDPAU=1 Anymore. But add explicit VDPAU configure flag. Thanks!
fixed in 0.7.6, thanks!
