Keeping aside the fact that with nouveau driver you don't get vdpau
support (as Lonni already wrote), to get mplayer binary with vdpau
support you only have to enable rpmfusion repository or manually
download mplayer from the web site, with its dependencies.
In fact, in F12 rpmfusion mplayer does have vdpau support compiled in,
as you can see running:

mplayer -vo help
