Do you _really_ need to add the VideoLAN repo?
A similar issue also took place in my computer a few months ago, when I
added these same repositories. After I removed VideoLAN repo, all these
"change the vendor" messages stopped.
As the only package from VideoLAN repo that I really need is libdvdcss,
I just downloaded it using the web browser. All other codecs I use I get
from PackMan, through YaST2.

I also update the whole system enabling only oss, non-oss and update
repositories; only after doing so I will add PackMan and install
additional codecs and other stuff. However this is a personal policy.
Excellent guide, thank you.

OpenSuse 10.3 could make it easier to temporarily
switch repositories on and off.

Kind regards Philippe
