Yes, in my case a few others, the proper settings was a fix.
To solve this you need to go to VLC settings (click on Tools > Preferences > Video) and find the proper video output and input/codecs options for your device (click on Tools > Preferences > Input/Codecs) .
It may be VDPAU or XCB or others, there is an entire list of available options. You can test and change to see which works best for you.
