va-api with vlc works for vlc, but kaffeine and vidcutter seem to default to vdpau? Even when setting vlc to use va-api, kaffeine does not honor this and crashes. Kaffeine does not use VLC's settings, no. It is a separate application, it only uses libvlc for the actual media

--- Comment #30 from Wolfgang Bauer
By default, libVlc will try to use vdpau hardware acceleration in order to decode the video stream at GPU.
