Hi, what is the video driver in use (i.e. nvidia, fglrx, radeon,
nouveau, intel) ?
Did you try to launch vlc from the command line with "-v" option:
vlc -v /path/to/video
to see if it prints any error ?
I had a freeze yesterday while using vlc, but it turned out to be a more
general video driver bug.
