0.96 Problem playing TS (Transport Stream) [High CPU Usage]

My Spek:
Intel Celeron 420
i945GP
ATI HD 3450
2GB RAM DDR2
Running WinXP SP2
and the rest
before upgrading to HD 3450 I'm using Onboard IGP (945), and using VLC 0.86
it plays perfect, no stuter no lag, and CPU usage is arround 50-80%
with MPC the video can't even play normally

after upgrading to 3450 and add another 1GB RAM, I also upgrade VLC to newest version (in this case 0.96)

the video start glitching, sometimes lag between the audio and video
it seems the newest vlc can't use power from 3450 correctly?
I'm very curious about this,

than I test it with MPC + FFDSHOW running the same file
it runs fine, no lag no stuttering CPU usage constantly 20-40% and using GPU power
Image

I've read faqs, about the TS playback problem
but this is the same video I've played with older version and it runs fine, after upgrade it the problem shows up

any suggestion to fix this?

Thank you

VLC does all decoding in CPU, while MPC can use proprietary codecs that uses GPU.

If you play H.264/AVC material, you can try

my friend also test it (since he curious about ts file)
he's spek:
C2D e6550
DFI LANParty DK P35-T2RS
2GB RAM
HD3870 XHD3870XTG3-E3
winxp sp2

using same settings, CPU usage low, gpu activity arround 20-30%
the most important the video playback is really smooth
