Theoretically yes. The preferred way to do this would be to not use
VDPAU directly, but rather FFmpeg + VAAPI because this is vendor-neutral
(i.e. also works with Intel and other GPUs). VAAPI can then use VDPAU
internally.

See <http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi> and
<http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/hwdecode-demos/>.

Interaction between VAAPI and OpenGL seems to be possible; there is some
sample code in the hwdecode-demos.

If you have some free time, this would make a nice project ;)
