I have no problems playing these AVCHD files in either mplayer or VLC.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4800+
RAM: 4 GB, system reports it as 3.8 GiB (DDR2)
Video card: Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT with 256 MB of RAM, VBIOS version 
60.84.58.00.23, in bus PCI Express 16X. Nvidia driver: 180.44. Display 
size: 1152x864 pixels (332x252 millimeters) (details as provided by 
Nvidia X Server Settings program)

The video size of the AVCHD files is 1280 x 720

I ran OpenShot from a terminal, but this time it did not crash. Maybe it 
is not so unstable now. But the output from the terminal, as it started 
was as follows:

Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.0.0)
--------------------------------
/usr/share/openshot/windows/SimpleGladeApp.py:340: GtkWarning: 
gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != 
GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed
  return gtk.glade.XML(self.glade_path, root, domain)
A new frmMain has been created



If that helps at all, that's great.

I installed all the dependencies that it asked for, prior to doing the 
first installation of OpenShot a few weeks ago.

ALthough looking at the dependencies listed at 
http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=33
I do not seem to have python-mlt, and it is not in my Ubuntu 9.04 
repository. ALthough I do have openshot-mlt.

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
Pretty much all the time, just clicking on anything at any time, will cause the program to crash. The worst time was when I right clicked to get a menu on an item in the list of media files, and then the program crashed, causing a total of freeze of everything in the GUI. I tried a console to use sudo killall openshot, but it did not work. I had to reset the X server completely before I could do anything at all. 
I am using Ubuntu 9.04, 64-bit, with 4 GB RAM, > 1 TB HDD, trying to create short videos using AVCHD video files mostly from my Panasonic Lumix TZ7 digital camera.
OpenShot 1.0.0.1, installed from DEB.
I save often and regularly so that I do not lose any work, but it is a bit much to have to click Save every single time before doing anything in case it crashes.
