I’m using Debian 12, Ryzen 7 5700X processor, and Radeon HD 5450 graphics card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling VLC but it didn’t resolve the issue. Here’s an excerpt from the VLC’s log file:
glconv_vaapi_x11 error: vaDeriveImage: operation failed
main error: video output creation failed
main error: failed to create video output
avcodec info: Using G3DVL VDPAU Driver Shared Library version 1.0 for hardware decoding
How do I resolve this issue?
Replying to my own post here. I tried to reinstall my video driver but the terminal messages I received essentially said that the files were already installed:

Edit:
I reinstalled the video drivers and rebooted twice to be sure but VLC wouldn’t play mp4 files unless I changed “Hardware-accelerated decoding” to “VA-API video decoder”.
