GNOME Mplayer: “Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so” error

Every time I play a video with MPlayer, I'm getting an annoying popup dialog saying:

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

How to solve this? My laptop is A Compaq CQ20-213TU.

nvidia mplayer

  1. Install proprietary nvidia drivers or switch off VDPAU support in mplayer.

    EDIT:

    sudo aptitude reinstall libvdpau1
