Crash in not in VLC, but in libmpeg2.

A workaround in VLC is to launch vlc --codec ffmpeg,all

I believe that the bug was fixed in libmpeg2 5.0.

For the upstream libmpeg2 fix:
https://trac.videolan.org/libmpeg2/changeset/1159

lool, can you please have a look at this proposed debdiff?

fixed in intrepid by this commit:

mpeg2dec (0.4.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * Move mpeg2dec to Section: x11 instead of graphics to match overrides.
  * Bump up Debhelper compatibility level to 5; bump up debhelper build-dep to
    >= 5.
  * Add -Wl,-z,defs -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS; build-dep on cdbs >= 0.4.41.
  * New patch, 62_drop-arch-opts, drop arch-specific CFLAGS detection in
    upstream configure as we want to use the gcc defaults to work on all
    machines which Debian will be installed on, and not use the buildds as
    references.
  * Add Homepage.

mpeg2dec (0.4.1-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Bump up Standards-Version to 3.7.3.
    - This new version allows PIC shared libraries on some arches;
      closes: #268603.
  * Wrap build-deps, deps, and uploaders.
  * Use ${binary:Version} instead of ${Source-Version}; build-dep on dpkg-dev
    >= 1.13.19.
  * Cleanup rules.
  * Retrieve the shared library package name (with SONAME) from control.
  * Move docs installation to debian/*.docs.
  * Drop useless libc6-dev | libc-dev dep.
  * Drop now useless README.Debian.
  * Use a wildcard to install the examples.
  * Install man pages via dh_install.
  * Pass --sourcedir=debian/tmp to dh_install.
  * Build-dep on gnome-pkg-tools (>= 0.7) and include clean-la.mk.
  * Build-dep on libxv-dev for xv output; thanks Jack Bates; closes: #390931.
  * Add watch file.
  * New patch, 66_add-dummy-handler-and-sanity-checks, fixes SEGV when playing
    http://sam.zoy.org/zzuf/lol-mplayer.m2v; from MPlayer; thanks
    Lionel Debroux; closes: #407922.
  * Add Vcs-Svn and Vcs-Browser URLs.
  * New patch, 68_honor-cflags, don't reset CFLAGS in configure.in;
    closes: #403194.
  * Update patches 64_non-pic-on-i386-only and 68_honor-cflags to not patch
    configure and add a new patch, 70_autoconf, to update configure by running
    autoconf.
  * Unset DEB_OPT_FLAGS to leave it to upstream configure to select the opt
    level when noopt isn't in DEB_BUILD_OPTS; this allows -O3 to be selected
    instead of the cdbs default of -O2.
