The video is vcodec:av01 acodec:aac and have some Text, muxed in mp4.

Tested Version:

【the versions between are not tested】
nightly20230107 can open
nightly20221101 can open
3.0.17.3 can open

ffplay6.0 can open

My computer i5-8265U / Intel graphics 620 / NV Geforce MX250
Computer system: Windows 10 22H2
Also, the same thing happened to another av01/aac/mp4 video.
Also, the same thing happened to another computer under Win11.

I'm sorry that I dont know how to upload the file which is about 35MB.

Thanks for the report. For some reason libavcodec cannot handle this file and it crashes during probing. A fix is coming. It works fine when switching to dav1d.

I am having the same problem. After the last update, VLC will not open any mp4 videos--even the ones that it has opened for the past several years...it simply opens it for a split-second, then crashes. The next time I start it, it asks me if I want to send a crash report. I am running Windows 10...and I have been using VideoLAN for YEARS!

Thank you--this corrected the problem. All my mp4s suddenly play with VLC again.
