ffplay plays both the .mpg and the .mp4 file successfully, so there's
something in the former that VLC (for Windows) doesn't like.

FWIW, here's the original file off the camcorder:
------------------------------
C:\>ffmpeg.exe -i M2U00022.MPG
ffmpeg version N-46469-gc995644 Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the FFmpeg
developers
...
Input #0, mpeg, from 'M2U00022.MPG':
  Duration: 00:07:50.07, start: 7222.478100, bitrate: 9456 kb/s
    Stream #0:0[0x1e0]: Video: mpeg2video (Main), yuv420p, 720x576
[SAR 64:45 DA
R 16:9], 25 fps, 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc
    Stream #0:1[0x80]: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1(side), s16, 448 kb/s
------------------------------

And here are the two commands I used:
------------------------------
ffmpeg.exe -i M2U00022.MPG -ss 00:00:00 -t 15 -c:v copy -c:a copy
M2U00022.extract.mpg

ffmpeg.exe -i M2U00022.MPG -ss 00:00:00 -t 15 -c:v copy -c:a copy
M2U00022.extract.mp4
------------------------------

HTH,
