Hi, I have removed the libvdpau-va-gl1 package, which also removed vdpau-driver-all, and rebooted for good measure, however the bug still persists. So removing libvdpau-va-gl1 did not help.
While doing all this, I checked /var/log/apt/history.log and realized that the update I ran on July 8th, the one that broke VLC for me, does not actually list the VLC package as being updated. VLC was updated from 3.0.20 to 3.0.21 earlier, on June 25th, and it worked fine until July 8th. So the bug is not caused by the VLC package update but by some other package update done on July 8th.

Not sure what to do with that information though, as I don't think I can downgrade these packages to test that. I tried to downgrade VLC via Debian Snapshots a few days ago and apt wanted to uninstall the entire KDE for me, and I assume similar would happen if I try to downgrade libav*.
