VDPAU : segmentation fault with VLC 3.0.18 on linux when playing MPEG2 files

I use archlinux and VLC 3.0.18.

VLC crashes when trying to play MPEG2 files (segmentation fault), if I set "VDPAU" as library for hardware decoding, I have a radeon HD4650 Pcie, that doesn't support MPEG2 hardware decoding, it supports only H264 hardware decoding.

Other players like MPV doesn't crash on MPEG2 files when using VDPAU library.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
