I haven't looked into the code for a long time. But what I can tell is, VDA
only worked
for really limited cases when I played with it. For example, it required
all extra data,
also it only recognized 'AVC1' as fourcc, 'H264' would make it failed.

I'd recommend you to try to use VT instead of VDA. In new OS X systems, VDA
is
just a simple wrapper of VT. VT is probably more powerful (though I haven't
ever
tried it myself.)
