I see wheezy-backports has libavcodec-extra-55 and libavutil53 instead. You should probably contact the maintainers to update the backport.

I upgraded to Jessie over the very same problem. VLC for wheezy was making me crazy. No problems to report other than some initial burps due to the massive upgrade. Keep a live boot DVD for Jessie handy. If you come to need it, it's best to have created one previous. :) Ric -- My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
