So this problem has been occurring over the past couple of months. Occasionally if I try to play a video (format doesn't matter, avi, mp4, mkv, etc) VLC will launch and then crashes. The only method I've found to fix it is to restart my computer or even just put it to sleep and start it back up (not 100% successful with this method). This started either when I installed 10.7 or when I swapped out my HDD for a SSD. What's weird is videos will start just fine in quicktime while this is happening.

I've tried uninstalling VLC and reinstalling it (even with appcleaner) but to no avail. I don't think its a permissions problem or anything either. It's not a dire problem, but just an annoying one.

Here's most of the error log. Oh and the crash thread isn't always 12 if that makes a difference.
