Yes it will. Each codec has a certain burden for encoding and the 
resulting decoding. AVI's usually requires a fast CPU. In general the 
more smaller it compressed (encoded), the higher the burden upon 
decompressing (decoding).

The pictures width and height also add to the required performance on 
the decoder, in general the bigger the picture the more CPU power is 
required.

A vob usually encompases video that has a 8 Mb/s bandwidth. MPEG 1/2 are 
better suited for an iPaq when video pictures size is small and 
bandwidth required is limited.

Run it as this:

opie-vlc udp://@:1234 > error.log 2>&1

and send the resulting error log to this mailing list, please.

P.S: which opie-vlc version are you using?
