Good day, Packmans!
Me again.
Thank you for your advice, Masaru! I managed to get VLC to play standard
DVDs by fiddling around with the codec settings. So, that solves my main
problem.
However, I wanted to see if I could get Hardware Acceleration working on my
Leap 15.4 machine.
After building the Mesa drivers from source, this was the output of
vdpauinfo:

Note the path to the driver above I have highlighted in red.
When I built the new driver, meson/ninja installed all of the new drivers
to /usr/local/lib64
I have another, newer machine running Tumbleweed. It also has an AMD Radeon
GPU.
I followed a similar procedure to install Mesa from source on that machine.
(I will document this, I have made some notes already.)
I have been delayed by the rolling power blackouts we are presently
experiencing here in South Africa, and also by a Tumbleweed mega-update
that hit me while I was working on this. (I had to do that one in stages.)
This is the result I get from my Tumbleweed machine, both before and after
the new Mesa install:

I suspect what is happening in both cases is that the new Mesa drivers are
installed and running, but that vdpauinfo is still picking up the old
drivers installed by the OS.
I have searched online to find a solution, but haven't seen anything I can
use.
Does anyone know how I can specify a path for vdpauinfo, so that it will
pick up the correct driver?
These are not the results I am expecting!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Steven.
