^ Bluto and Solkap’s posts, just above yours, should be of interest and help mate.
Basically, it boils down to vlc not being able to play the film itself (albeit being a great piece of kit for nearly everything else 😃)
The free and easy-to-use Leawo Media Player, linked to by Bluto above, should do the trick for testing and watching the film back on a computer.
Good luck with it.
