I had a grep around in the xinelib 1.21 sources and it doesn't look like 
it asks for VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_YUYV (well not before the error I get so far).

The query I think fails for me is -

./src/video_out/video_out_vdpau.c-  st = 
vdp_video_surface_query_capabilities( vdp_device, VDP_CHROMA_TYPE_422, 
&ok, &max_surface_width, &max_surface_height );

I also notice that vdpauinfo lists the new formats under 420 with no 422 
line so I guess that's why it still fails for me.

FWIW the only mpeg2 422 I have gets output as planar, maybe that would 
be easier to implement but of course packed is also worth doing.
