Fake info. It would be fake too if you made the opposite claim. Because such info is simply not available.
VLC being an MPlayer clone with better branding has been a running half-joke for decades.
The latest released version of VLC is not compatible with ffmpeg versions > 4.4 🤗. Some distros have actually considered dropping the package for that reason. Maybe some did, I don’t know. But if the situation doesn’t change, some definitely will.
And VLC 4, which those who still care for some reason have been waiting for it to be released for years, is centered around libplacebo, a library that was factored out of mpv 😎 .
I’m not emotionally charged against VLC or anything. In fact, I occasionally use it on Android. But what’s stated above is just facts.

If vlc switches its back end to use what MPV uses, I’d be more likely to use vlc. Sounds like a good move.
Rendering only.
I mean the only thing I dont like about vlc is the rendering. What else does MPV have on vlc?
