It would need it for hypothetical VP1 support. However there is no software
support for the VP1 decoding engine, and according to all reports, it didn't
make anything actually faster (on Windows). The MPEG decoding engine should
work fine (via XvMC ... IIRC VDPAU didn't quite work, and XvMC is a better
match anyways).

This is all for accelerated video decoding, which is not in play for the videos
you're talking about.
