The way you presented your problem it would have been easily explainable by a memory shortage. That doesn't mean it
is a memory shortage, though. This is why i asked you to confirm this.
Always keep in mind that i know your computer only from what you are telling me. Because this picture is necessarily incomplete i come up with all sorts of theories - it falls upon you to falsify them. You haven't said how much memory is installed in your laptop, so i supposed the problem to come from a memory shortage - your information that you have 4GB installed and 4GB swap configured pretty much clears this suspicion.
I'd still try to do as i have told you, just to ultimately falsify this. Another thing might be a problem with the applications: start them from a command line and watch carefully for any output they might produce. Firefox and vlc (i haven't used chrome yet) produce no output at all as long as everything works perfectly, so any output at all will be relevant.
I hope this helps.

oggz-sort
oggz-sort(1) General Commands Manual oggz-sort(1)
NAME
oggz-sort -- Sort the pages of an Ogg file in order of presentation time.
SYNOPSIS
oggz-sort [-o filename | --output filename ] filename
oggz-sort [-h | --help ] [-v | --version ]
Description
oggz-sort sorts an Ogg file, interleaving pages in order of presentation time. It correctly interprets the granulepos timestamps of Ogg
CELT, CMML, Dirac, FLAC, Kate, PCM, Speex, Theora and Vorbis bitstreams. Run oggz-known-codecs(1) for a full list of codecs known by the
installed version of oggz.
Some encoders produce files with incorrect page ordering; for example, some audio and video pages may occur out of order. Although these
files are usually playable, it can be difficult to accurately seek or scrub on them, increasing the likelihood of glitches during playback.
Players may also need to use more memory in order to buffer the audio and video data for synchronized playback, which can be a problem when
the files are viewed on low-memory devices.
Some older Ogg encoders also produce pages which incorrectly have granulepos timestamps recorded that shouldn't be: pages which have no
completed packets must have a granulepos of -1. oggz-sort will correct such granulepos during the process of sorting.
The tool oggz-validate can be used to check the relative ordering of packets in a file, and also to detect incorrect granulepos on pages
with no completed packets. If either of these errors are reported, or use oggz-sort to fix the problem.
Options
oggz-sort accepts the following options:
Miscellaneous options
-o filename, --output filename
Write output to the specified filename instead of printing it to standard output.
-h, --help
Display usage information and exit.
-v, --version
Output version information and exit.
EXAMPLES
Correct the page ordering in broken.ogv:
oggz sort -o fixed.ogv broken.ogv
