I could not get that to crash no matter what the settings. It seems it will only do vdpau with X11, not X11 Opengl. With X11 Opengl, it says

err: Operation not permitted
FFStream::decode: failed
HW device init failed, using SW decode.

but it works fine with X11 direct render.

With X11 Direct Render it will play 10 bit 4K60 at 60 fps. I have a Nvidia GTX-1050 with 2 GB on this computer. With the price of video cards, that is all there is going to be. I do have a GTX-1650 with 4 GB on another computer that runs Fedora 34, but that is the entertainment computer that is pretty much for watching the final result.

Regards,

Mark

Mark,

It does not crash when using X11 OpenGL, only X11. X11 with direct render does not seem to be faster when using vdpau, so I think I have a workable solution that does not require extra tracks.
Curiouser and curiouser. I checked and I was using X11 and not OpenGL.

I have created a multibit AppImage on my Fedora 29 computer(which is an HP/Intel/Broadwell graphics board) and have uploaded it. When I tested this AppImage moved to an AMD Ryzen-7 (with a Radeon graphics board) vdpau worked for me on tutorial.mp4 file. It did not work with DSCF0220.MOV though probably due to limitations of my board. When you have time and the inclination, you should see if it works for you by downloading:
