I just forgot to remove the optional deps.
And latest versions VLC 3 do support being built with FFmpeg 5 just without VAAPI.

Sorry to disappoint you but I stick with FFmpeg 5.
I forgot to specify that on Arch Linux side ffmpeg4.4 will be progressively phased out.
I'm rather confused by the fact that while this package lists VAAPI drivers as optional dependencies, and at line 266 --enable-libva is listed, why at line 335 is there a conflicting --disable-libva?
EDIT: So, vlc 3.0x is not supposed to be built with ffmpeg 5, which your package is doing incorrectly. If you look at the official VLC package, they use ffmpeg4.4 because VAAPI won't work with VLC on ffmpeg5, and even the official vlc developers said they have no plans to support ffmpeg5 on the vlc 3.0 branch here.
Here is a patch file to build with ffmpeg4.4 and re-enable VAAPI

Why is it this package has to conflict with itself. vlc-luajit is required by OBS, but when you go to install VLC, it complains its in conflict with itself, despite the fact it's the exact same package used by OBS, and wants to uninstall itself when trying to install VLC. Instead I have to jump through hoops to ignore the vlc-luajit package altogether by extracting the package and adding an ignore rule to it. Because if I don't do that, it fucks with OBS that's already installed, preventing OBS from working at all.
That worked! Thank you thank you thank you very much!
@lwg-galuise I just happen to have pushed the fix with the 3.0.17.4-5
I can't seem to get this to build. It's complaining about the dav1d encoder code:

I did try swapping out the "extra/dav1d 1.0.0-1" Arch package for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/dav1d-git to no avail.
Thanks for the info @tytan652. I have no issue getting it to build manually replacing the "ffmpeg" version to the "ffmpeg-amd-full" version and looks good.
I can't add it, every FFmpeg package should add in there provide this "ffmpeg=$pkgver". But this is not a requirement.
It allow me to avoid that this package is built with FFmpeg 4. You can replace "ffmpeg>=5" by "ffmpeg" in VLC PKGBUILD. Or ask the maintainer of your FFmpeg package to add "ffmpeg=$pkgver" in provided package.
Hey @tytan652 -I've swapped out the ffmpeg>=5 with ffmpeg-amd-full>=5 in the PKBUILD. Could you add it? Thanks.
