Bug Description
vdpau works very poorly in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on Unity3d. Same 1080p movies use around 6-10% of cpu in 11.04 and 11.10 shoots up to 50-60% of cpu usage in 12.04 with vdpau and mplayer (all under Unity 3d) . I have tried several nvidia drivers and the results are the same (Nvidia current 295.40, 295.20 and 295.33 32 bits) Videocard is Nvidia G105M
This seems to be a Unity rather than a Nvidia bug as cpu usage drops back to around 6 -10% for same movies in Gnome shell.

Just upgraded the Nvidia driver to 302.07 (via xorg-edgers) Still the same, vdpau works perfectly in Gnome Shell but only semi working Unity 3d (without vdpau CPU usage ~100%, with vdpau cpu usage ~ 50-60% in Unity 3d, 6-10% in Gnome Shell,--and Unity3d for 11.04 and 11.10)
It seems that Unity3d in Precise is the culprit, so I have added that to affect package.
