[SOLVED] Gnome-mplayer gets error message, but still plays

I apologize for the ambiguous title, but it is really hard to explain this error I got on gnome-mplayer in the thread title.

I can play videos perfectly, but I always get this message when the video is opened:

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

My computer definitely does not use nvidia graphics; it runs on integrated intel graphics. The playing of the video is not affected after I close the message. This does not occur on mplayer, so is it likely to be a problem with the frontend?

Thanks!

I think that it is assuming that you have an Nvidia graphics card.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
