VLC and Broadcom Crystal HD is CRASHING

Hello,

There is a bug when loading VLC with the Broadcom Crystal HD driver v3.6.9.

This driver is working perfectly with other video players (Media Player Classic, Goom Player, and I could use it with GraphEdit too), but when loading VLC with the command line :

"vlc.exe" --codec crystalhd

The VLC player will load, but at the exact moment I click to play a video, it CRASHES.

This is a bug very specifit to VLC, and more specificaly :

VLC\plugins\codec*libcrystalhd_plugin.dll*

There is a bug in this dll causing the file to bug when it is trying to load the file Broadcom\Broadcom CrystalHD Decoder*bcmDIL.dll*

Maybe there is something that I can do in VLC for the moment like to disable an other thing, but I searched and it is currently not possible to prevent the crash.

Thank you very much, Bye
