Yes, I think it’s better to capture again from the tape. You can also try to convert your .M2T file into .MPG with a converter like Super(c) but can’t be sure about the output quality.

VLC uses it’s own codecs, that’s why you can playback the entire clip without any problem.

In Options/preferences/general, there are two switches;
`Ignore third party DV codecs`
`Use Microsoft DV codec`

Experiment with them, it might work.

If not, I suggest you ingest the video using Vegas Capture.
