Your video card is ATI, which explains the bug...Perhaps I can help here. A few weeks back I purchased the newly delivered Panasonic TM700 camera. This camera has not only four AVCHD (1920x1080) modes (HE/5 Mbps, HX/8 Mbps, HG/13Mbps, and HA (17Mbps) but it also shoots at 1080/60p at 28 Mbps. It uses MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression. I have been very pleased with the quality of the video files - especially the ones shot at 1080/60p which are pretty awesome. All the files have .m2ts extensions.
Now here is the scoop, the camera comes with Panasonics own software (HD Writer AE 2.1) which will play all the videos on my machine perfectly - even the 1080/60p. Absolutely no jerkiness. So I know it can be done by software on this machine. This machine is a Dell XPS 420 (2 yrs old) Vista / 32 SP2 machine using quad processors running at 2.66 GHz. My video card is an ATI Radeon 2400.
I can not get the video to work in this new version - at least not with the combination of settings I have tried so far. Either it jerks consistently like the current production version 1.0.5, or it shows a picture as a still, or the whole screen turns green.
I am happy to do whatever testing you think will be needed (I can even send you some small test files). I would like to see VLC work with these video files.
Let me know how I can help or email me at yonah@aol.com
Have a great weekend,

This is a bit worrysome. Could you file a bug on http://trac.videolan.org/vlc ?Here's my first experience with the new feature (using vlc-1.1.0-rc-20100510-0202-win32.exe):
I tried playing the Big Buck Bunny stream from the x264 demo Blu-ray.
It's 1080p AVC video with DTS audio, and when I enable the experimental GPU decoding, it looks like this.
CPU usage is way lower than with software decoding, though, but that does not help if the image is corrupted.
System info:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core2Duo P7350, 2.0 GHz (SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1)
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS (driver version: 197.16)
relevant line from DxVAChecker:
ModeH264_VLD_NoFGT DXVA2 NV12 720x480 / 1280x720 / 1920x1080
EDIT:
I just tried several other files using the AVC video codec in various SD and HD resolutions - the result is the same: low CPU load but severely messed up colors.
FYI, the same files play fine with DXVA in MediaPlayerClassic HomeCinema, but I don't know if that player is using DXVA1 or 2.
Many thanks for the report. I have mostly the same comp @home but with VistaJust installed and my blu-ray rips in h.264 are playing perfectly and only running at about 10% CPU.
Brilliant stuff. Thanks!!!

EDIT #3: Creating the ticket in trac now worked.This is a bit worrysome. Could you file a bug on http://trac.videolan.org/vlc ?
I'm having the same issue on a gtx280 with h264 files. If you think it could be driver related im willing to install old drivers to test it out.FlashGekko: I get the same thing here.
This is new I guess.
