You can get the list of allowed codecs with ``mpv --vd=help``. Remove the
prefix, e.g. instead of ``lavc:h264`` use ``h264``.
By default this is set to ``h264,vc1,wmv3``.
By default this is set to ``h264,vc1,wmv3``. Note that the hardware
acceleration special codecs like ``h264_vdpau`` are not relevant anymore,
and in fact have been removed from Libav in this form.
This is usually only needed with broken GPUs, where a codec is reported
as supported, but decoding causes more problems than it solves.
