If you can install mplayer easily, this should tell you (me!):

mplayer -vo help |grep vdpau

but maybe also test:

mplayer -vo vdpau foobar.mp4

and look for a line like:
VO: [vdpau] 640x480 => 640x480 Planar YV12

If you don't have vdpau support, the VO will be something else, or
nothing will play at all.

Thanks!  I'll try that.
