VLC crashing when trying to play x265 8b file

Hi, I'm using VLC 3.0.0 and the app is crashing when I try to read a x265 8b file. The file was encoded by staxrip with x265 config by default. I've only change 10b by 8b. When I try to read the 8b, VLC is crashing (and a green screen appears during about 0,5 when I launch it). If I launch the 10b file (so I just change 10b and Main10 profile compare to the 8b file), the app is not crashing and I don't have this unknown green screen at the launching. Crashing often appears when I try to seek into the video (maybe at the beginning without any action) I found that if I deactivate hardware acceleration it seems to stop crashing, but if I retry DirectX or DXVA, crash comes back.

I'm on Windows 1709 and I'm using the IGP of my Intel® Core™ i7-4790K (so a HD 4600). I try with the 3.0.1 and bug stills persist. I delete my preference following your guidelines (via the app, manually) and bug stills here. I try with the not uptodate version of x265 included into the staxrip bundle and with the last x265 (2.7+340) but it still the same.

Sorry if I made mistake into my ticket, it's my first time. Hopefully you will understand my bad English.

Regards.
