Hi Victor, do you plan to finish that work ? (and bug #744698). Maybe it is
worth to attach for review what you got already ? I cannot access the gitlab
link anymore.
I would say the most interesting part would be to have gstvdpauh264dec and
gstvdpauvideopostprocess back (eventually gstvdpausink if you already ported
it).

I do not think anybody use the current gst-vdpau since it only supports mpeg2
so what you made is really valuable and would be a pity to not have it
upstream.

I am chasing this because today Christian Koenig (from AMD) submitted a patch
series for Mesa/Gallium to extend Gallium vdpau backend to support potential
new VDPAU functionality/API: VdpVideoSurfaceDMABuf and VdpOutputSurfaceDMABuf.
(Similar to vaAcquireBufferHandle in VAAPI). It aallow to export a surface as a
dma buffer and to use in conjunction with EXT_image_dma_buf_import.
See one of the patches: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/76129/ 

So Victor if you work is merged I might be interested to add support for
dmabuf.
