The clip works fine form me on Ubuntu using VLC 0.9.8a running on a ThinkPad T61 laptop. I didn't make any special changes to settings as far as I recall, but I installed several components from Ubuntu suggested on Ubuntu forums before I got it to work. On the other hand, it doesn't work at all on my much beefier CentOS desktop. It crashes after about a single frame.
What system are you using? I'm trying to get VLC working on a mac and windows as well, and basically decide which one works best for my purposes. VLC 0.9.8a didn't work on my windows laptop at all (also ThinkPad T61), and apparently it's a bit choppy on an iMac (I haven't seen it to compare, but I'm getting a mac tomorrow). I see slight choppiness on longer mts videos on Ubuntu, which may be video card related. I noticed a few bugs, and zoom doesn't seem to work very well, but overall the Ubuntu playback is pretty nice.
I'm going to try to build the current 1.0 development version on linux, but I immediately ran into a problem that the configure script doesn't exist. Argh!
