MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.2.3 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU         T7200  @ 2.00GHz (Family: 6, Model: 
15, Stepping: 6)

Not the latest version but recent.  Not a slow/old computer.   Unless 
your stating a core 2 duo isn't fast enough to playback HD.... which 
would be silly as it does 720p and 1080p just fine as h264'd mkv's.

ffplay also blew up.

ACC support is in the system.

Single frame displayed, green chunks and heavily distorted.  Followed by 
nothing.  Whatever was in that .ts file was not h264 or mpeg2.
