vlc is playing audio just fine but the video plays a little, stops, jumps ahead a few frames to catch up with the audio then plays a little more, then repeats. To get the errors I ran vlc from the terminal: bmike1@c521 ~/Pictures/2013/Peru2013 $ vlc 00004.MTS VLC media player 2.1.4 Rincewind (revision 2.1.4-0-g2a072be) [0x1971118] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface.
