Select VDPAU from Settings -> Video -> Player -> Render Method

MPlayer:

There are various VDPAU-enabled PPAs, but I'm not sure how recent they
are. Building from SVN is quite simple:

svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/trunk mplayer
cd mplayer
./configure --prefix=/some/path
make
/some/path/bin/mplayer -vo vdpau -vc \
    ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau, <<file>>
# You can put those options in ~/.mplayer/something

Also, xine, MythTV, vdr? are VDPAU-enabled. Somebody is apparently
working on gstreamer.
