Yes you can make videolan 120 and the only package that you will get is
libdvdcss and of course when newer versions are available the update
will be visible. You can also give packman a lower priority than
opensuse to ensure you don't accidentally replace packman packages. This
behavior  is  in  11.1  but   still may be a moving target.

Sorry I need to clarify a higher priority number reduces priority and vice 
versa ie videolan=120 packman=75 opensuse=99 then newer packman
packages that are also in opensuse will take priority but packages in opensuse 
that are also in videolan will take priority and a package
that is only available in videolan will be the package that zypper or yast will 
install. You can test this easily with zypper if package
and see where zypper says the package is from.

Dave P
