To upgrade your VLC to the 1.2 experimental version to test if this bug is fixed follow these:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:videolan/master-daily sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
I only watched something with VLC 1.2 for 45 minutes yesterday and it did not freeze, however the video and the audio were not in sync.
