Best MTS player to stop skipping effect when viewing GH2 footage

[luminescence]

Can anyone recommend the best MTS player to use? I have tried VLC but the earlier version skips badly, and the latest version still skips a little. At first I thought it was the head of my new tripod when panning, but it skips on zoom in and out on all three of my lenses. I have an extra big video card and 8gb ram, so I do not think it a hardware issue. I am using the basic patch for the GH2 and the files range from 17,000 kbps to about 37,000. The quality is terrific, but I cannot view on my computer optimally it seems. The skip is not apparent in movie playback on the camera, just on my PC laptop.

Another question, if I was to convert to the next best quality file (AVI, MP4?) what is the best video converter program to use? I have  trawled the net and it is a minefield to find the right one without downloading a bunch of spam or limited trial versions.

Thanks for your attention.

Try Media Player Classic. Worked for me :)

Can't say what you should use to convert the files though. I just edit them as MTS and render out as whatever else in Vegas.

thanks to both. Splash trial download does seem a little better than Media Player. I wonder if there has been done a  comparative analysis somewhere of the top mts players, in terms of their technical ability?
