A few things to check that have caused similar hangs for me.

1) Settings > Format : is set correctly for HDV  Thats 1080 x 1440 at 16:9
aspect ratio YUV 8bit
2) Settings > Preferances > Playback : Use ALSA audio driver and check tab
"Stops Playback Locks Up"
3) When loading large clips, use Create new resources only and load onto
timeline from viewer as opposed to "Replace Existing Project"
4) Try starting and running as root.
