@paully, I don't know what the "stable" fanatism is good for when using the system as a multi-media box. But your try to mix a Gentoo+stable release with an unstable~live~git is surely over the top. I regard Gentooo~unstable a far better choice keeping up with multi-media related security fixes upstream. I have no issues with unmasking boost-1.53 (I don't use old science software) and ffmpeg-1.2.1. My software selection compiles and works without issues:
dev-libs/icu-51.1
dev-libs/boost-1.53.0
dev-util/boost-build-1.53.0
kde-base/ffmpegthumbs-4.10.4
media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.13_p201211
virtual/ffmpeg-9
media-video/ffmpeg-1.2.1
media-video/vlc-2.0.7
sys-devel/gcc-4.7.3
sys-devel/gcc-config-1.8
sys-libs/glibc-2.17
linux-3.9.7

Yay!

I did a revdep-rebuild and installed the latest non-git version...

Code:
VLC media player 2.0.7 Twoflower (revision 2.0.6-54-g7dd7e4d)


...and the videos now all WORK.

Problem. Solved.

Many thanks to all who helped.

Regards

:D

I know this is an old thread, but I'm still seeing this segfault (during emerge). I'm trying to re-merge vlc-2.0.7 after updating

paully, I see that your bug is marked as resolved. Did a fix get into portage? Do I need to unmask one of the masked versions?

This issue isn't fixed yet, and it's described in detail in this comment from this bug report. It's also discussed in this other forum thread. So far, a workaround is to;
    1) emerge --unmerge qtcore qtgui
    2) USE="$USE -glib" emerge -a1v qtcore qtgui
    3) emerge -av vlc

You should now be able to emerge vlc with your default USE flags enabled, including libnotify and svg, and vlc should run without segmentation faults. Then,
    4) emerge -auDNv world

should re-emerge qtcore and qtgui with the glib USE flag enabled again. vlc should also continue working correctly.

Good Luck..

Wow, that was pretty elaborate. It almost worked, too. Except that my update world at the end wanted to reinstall vlc based on the re-merged qtcore and qtgui. That didn't work out, so I'm back where I was, but I guess I understand it a little better. I do have a working vlc installed, so I shouldn't complain too much. (Actually, I think I turned a video codec I needed back on as part of the process, so there's a silver lining.) I voted for the bug on Bugzilla.

Edit: Somehow, after I finished my world update (skipping vlc) and rebuilt packages depending on preserved libraries, emerge doesn't feel the need to re-merge vlc anymore. I guess I'll call that a win.
