Yeah, the G4 would have AltiVec support, so I wonder if that really is the problem. If I feel inspired I will play around some more with VLC, but I really got bored after the sixth or seventh crash. Nightlies crashing is expected. When 0.8.4 crashed, too, I just gave up at the time.
If not AltiVec, maybe Core Video or Quartz. Too many possibilities and I'm not savvy enough to pinpoint the cause. Alas, VLC, you used to be my best friend but lately you annoy me more often than not. Oh well.
