If possible, you are heavily recommended to use VA-API instead with Intel. To enable VDPAU support for the proprietary NVIDIA drivers, you must choose the relevant package for your driver version.

If you installed the latest drivers via the nvidia-driver package, then you can simply install the nvidia-vdpau-driver package.
