This one hangs the computer:
vlc my.mp4

This one works perfectly ok:
vlc --avcodec-hw none my.mp4

This one actually does not look ok, the video gets blurred/tugs
vlc --vout x11 my.mp4
And I can see these errors in console:
[00007f6da0c17dc8] avcodec decoder: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library
version 1.0 for hardware decoding.
[00007f6d8003e208] blend blend error: no matching alpha blending routine
(chroma: YUVA -> VDV0)
[00007f6d8003e208] core blend error: blending YUVA to VDV0 failed
[00007f6d80032a78] core filter error: Failed to create video filter2

This one works ok too. no errors.
vlc --avcodec-hw none --vout x11 my.mp4


Thank you,

>   VLC was running fine on 15.10 but since upgrading, video files (e.g.
>   .mp4) play for a few minutes and then crash the whole machine (i.e. I
>   have to power off and on). Possibly linked is that audio (in web pages
>   or playing audio files thru Banshee) loops (stutters) for about a
>   second every few minutes (but doesn't crash the machine).
