I intalled vlc-beta-20211210.736213df13-pm153.17.1.x86_64.rpm, and
tested.
I've never got segmentation fault with playing mp4 files.
But, this vlc-beta can't play all mp4 files.
That is, it denpends on codec.
For example, when trying to play av1 codec video, just get no video
(=black screen).

But, after recompiling vlc-beta;

  vlc-beta-20211210.736213df13-pm153.17.1.src.rpm

with my environment, this can play all mp4 files flawlessly.

In short, the same is true for vlc 3.0.16.

openSUSE DOES NOT include codecs with patent issues.
