Comment (by RJVB):

 The official builds use ffmpeg 2.7x or 2.8x, that may make a big
 difference.

 I just see a reminder that VDA is only available on 10.11 and earlier,
 that could well explain why builds that attempt to use it have issues on
 later OS releases. It'd be interesting to know if the older VLC port that
 used a private ffmpeg subport work better for you.
 If you feel like testing that, you can grab the subport definition from
 https://github.com/RJVB/macstrop/blob/master/multimedia/VLC/Portfile.ffmpeg.tcl
 and set `use_ffmpeg_VLC` to true in the VLC Portfile. I haven't tried this
 for a bit but it should work (supposing FFMpeg 2.8.6 still builds on
 10.13).

 Another thing of interest to check is if it makes a difference when
 port:ffmpeg is built with an explicit `--disable-vda` (and if `--enable-
 vda` still raises an error).
