I was suspecting this, but did not know how to go about finding versions
available vs. what is installed. As you point out my version of
libpostproc55 is from debian whereas I need the newer version in
deb-multimedia. I forced the version
with this
sudo aptitude install libpostproc55=10:4.4-dmo4+deb11u2
Still could not install vlc because libswscale5 was also older version
and needed to be upgraded
sudo aptitude install libswscale5=10:4.4-dmo4+deb11u2
After that vlc installs fine.
Let me know if I did anything wrong in the above.
Thanks for the help.

You are welcome :)
There is one more thing you need to fix.
By using this method, you will never get updates of packages installed
manually. If there is security update in Debian, it will get ignored,
because you have newer version already. And if multimedia releases new
version, you won't get that installed either, because you enforce lower
pin-priority.
