Hi everyone !
I have an annoying problem with VLC.
My laptop have an AMD Radeon HD 7500M and I have installed both catalyst 13.3 and xvba-video from Viol0's repository but hardware acceleration for videos doesn't work. When I open a video encoded with h264 for example, if I check "use hardware acceleration" in VLC my system freeze and I have to force the shutdown by pressing the power button.
Can someone help me ? Thanks.

You probably need to use OpenGL for your video output.
Note that Catalyst is no longer supported...

Your probably better off using the xf86-video-ati and libva-vdpau-driver drivers. [I don't have an AMD GPU myself]
