Iirc you said older Mac laptop.

Stab in the dark but I’m guessing core duo processor with 4gb of ram and a 5400 rpm drive.

Most likely crashing on longer clips because the write speed of the drive is inadequate and ram cache can’t keep up.

While it’s an older camcorder it’s still prosumer grade.

Could also be a codec issue.

Give videolan a shot, Same crew that does VLC
Its a 2015 MacBook Pro Retina with 8GB RAM and SSD. The RAM is kind of puny but feels like it should still work.

Thanks for the Videolan pointer!
