PC freezes when trying to play MPEG2-TS HD video

[ngybi123]

I'm current running VLC V0.8-4 on my PC with Linux Fedora Core 4. When I attempt to play a HD MPEG2-TS video (4:2:2 video of around 15Mbps), it freezes my whole PC. Playing SD MPEG2-TS video does not give this problem

When I attempt to play the same HD video on Windows XP with VLC 0.8-4, it plays perfectly.

Anyone have any clue why VLC 0.8-4 on Fedora Core 4 is not able to play the HD MPEG2-TS video. Not only it cannot play, but it also freezes the PC completely such that I have power off and on my PC again. Thanks for any advice!
