VLC won't play .m2ts (Blu-ray) files

I can't get VLC to play (unencrypted) .m2ts files properly. The video keeps freezing and giving me artifacts. MPC Home Cinema plays them fine. :confused:

I find VLC flakey with Blu-Ray rips whether in .MKV or .M2TS form. Sometimes it wont playback audio or show video from my ripped Blu-Rays despite WMP playing them back fine.

The splitters/source filters in VLC are pretty poor and the cause of most of its issues probably this one included. You're much better off with MPC-HC, especially for BD.

As said use MPC-HC, I have problems with VLC player as well.

MPC HC with FFDShow installed. Sorted.
