Comment (by reimar):

 > I am still surprised that this problem does not hit vlc users.

 VLC developers have experienced the problem, I talked about it at the VLC
 dev conference.
 I think some fixes were made, but I am not sure it fixed everything (I
 assume you are using latest git to test?).

 > mplayer -vc ffh264vdpau -lavdopts threads=8 also works fine.

 VDPAU uses a separate codec that ignores threads from the start. The
 problem is disabling threading once the PIX_FMT is selected.
 In addition I expect it is only an issue with frame multithreading,
 otherwise you might be able to test with mplayer XvMC...
