Bug Description
our default video player, totem 3.4 doesn't accelarate videos when VAAPI is installed.
libgstreamer-vaapi works with totem 3.6 and clutter.
In ubuntu quantal an mp4 HD movie make my sandybridge i3 proc go as high as the 60%, and my battery isn't sufficient to even finish a movie.
Thinking about one of the goals in raring ringtail will be battery life, how will you deal with this?
anyway, I'd like to see this bug solved already in quantal.

I just installed gstreamer-vaapi but I also have latest intel i915 vaapi driver installed as well. Normally with smplayer and mplayer-vaapi playing a HD movie would take up to 12% max CPU and now with gstreamer-vaapi, the CPU stays at 15% max when watching the same movie via Totem.
