Ouch. They better move before someone registers it in bad faith, though, presumably there is some kind of grace period.
edit: it looks as if it has been paid for now, but it still isn't resolving:
Registry Expiration: 2025-02-03 01:48:44 UTC
Updated: 2024-02-03 09:35:40 UTC
You can override the DNS using /etc/hosts
213.36.253.2 videolan.org
That will at least give you access if you need it until things are back to normal.

Expired delegation?
Most probably they failed to renew on time and DNS vanished.

It's like VLC domain expired and removed from DNS system.
