Blu-ray images freeze on HP laptop

I have a HP DV5 laptop, (AMD turion X2 processor, 3gb RAM, ATI 3850 dedicated gfx), it has a blu ray player and i've put a couple of blu ray images onto the hard drive and use VLC media player to play them, now recently every film i try to watch freezes every couple of seconds constantly and i've no idea why, i don't know if i'll get much response in this section though, but anyone any ideas as the hardware should easily manage?

High cpu load when playing? I guess your not getting any hardware acceleration, VLC never used to support this but I have no idea if that has changed.

Still I would just use a better player, VLC is ok for streaming stuff but I'd use zoomplayer or something.

Use the CoreAVC Codec, it's good for laptops and low end systems but also for every other user.
