You are running Fedora ??

Well, there is no libvdpau_r300.so on my system and "yum whatprovides
*/libvdpau_r300.so" returns nothing.....

What do you get when you "ldd /usr/bin/mplayer | grep libvdpau" ?

I don't get any reference to libvdpau_r300.so.  Only....

libvdpau.so.1 => /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 (0x4b827000)
