On Linux we have XvMC and VA APIs that should do the same. Pity many cards don't support them though.
However I just tested a HD video, and found it plays perfectly on Ubuntu 9.04 with VLC and an Intel graphics card with 25% CPU usage, but on 9.10 with VLC and an NVidia FX5200 it burns 100% CPU and skips unbelievably. I'm investigating.
