This issue still happening when loading 10th part (2GB/part)  this warning pops up.

In terminal output:

ONLY: when in Preferences [Video] [v] Decode video using VDPAU is marked

Weird is this worked for loading 9 x 2 GB parts in project, like if it can only create 9 decoder(s) instances? should not the same 1st created decoder be used?

[mean]

It's because each chunks is allocating its own codec and associated buffers
and it runs out of vdpau buffers

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Thanks for explaining.
Now that I know: Just tried this, once this message pops up you can set : Preferences [Video] [ ] Decode video using VDPAU. Then the message does not appear when loading following parts.

[mean]

Normally it should automatically revert to pure sw decoder

[Jan Gruuthuse]

It does. But It every time you load a next part that message pops up again. I do often load over 15 2 GB's parts/5 hours of recording)
