An 800Mhz processor seems a little weak to me. The video card might be fine. Are you running the AMD catalyst proprietary drivers (fglrx), If not, you might want to try those out, your video players might be able to use your video card to decompress the video. That video card is fairly low end and from my brief searching on the net there are mixed opinions as to if it will decode an HD video stream.
If you are already running the catalyst drivers, it sounds like you are just plain lacking the horse power to effectively playback the video.
What you can do is use something like handbrake or avidemux and convert the movie to 720p or 480i and your system should have no problem what so ever playing back those videos.

<brian@snaptek.com <mailto:brian@snaptek.com>https://www.dropbox.com/sh/____eg4ekk5pdlsgag4/VTLJ7b4Aa7I got it... and it played fine on my computer?
It's just an
MPEG-TS container with H264 video codec and AC3
audio codec.
The video is full HD 1920x1080. That's all really
standard stuff.
My guess to your problem is that your computer just
doesn't
have enough horse power to play back a full HD
video, and/or
your video drivers are slow enough they they can't
keep up.
If you think your computer has enough power to play
back the
video perhaps the video players are trying to use
the video
card for hardware acceleration and the video card
can't keep
up with a high definition video. I have a couple
of systems
that I use for mythtv that can't handle hardware
acceleration of HD video, so I have to turn it off
to get it
to get it to play back right..
In VLC go into the preferences and select Video. Then
UNCHECK the box next to "Accelerated video output
(overlay)". Also click on input and Codecs and
uncheck the
box next to "Use GPU accelerated decoding" That
should make
VLC use your CPU to decompress the video and if you
have
enough horsepower it should actually play
correctly. If
that's not checked already trying checking them and
see if
that makes a difference.

Yes, MTS format is also called as AVCHD.

The videos recorded in this Camera will be

The video codec information can be

Does this help any?
