MPEG-2 in Matroska, playback problems

Since the MkvToolNix supports proper MPEG-2 video multiplexing. I decided to try it and muxed a telecined NTSC video (720*480) and A/52 audio. Gabest's splitter v1.0.2.9 failed to demultiplex the video, so I decided to give Haali v1.7.62.21 a try. The video came out extended to PAL dimensions (720*576), with garbage displayed and broken aspect ratio in players that support reading one. What gives? Screenshot: Edit: I used 2007-01-17 release of MkvToolNix.

This problem has been partially solved by not using Elecard MPEG-2 decoder. A different problem remains, however: Seeking does not work reliably. Aprox.*half of seek attempts result in media player crashing.

Try VLC 0.8.6a for MPEG2 in MKV, go .

I think VideoLAN is not good for everyday playback (at least on Windows). What I need is a simple directshow splitter. I suppose Haali has problems (like crashing BSPlayer) because it is too complex. Is Guliverkli going to update his splitter?

Gabest hasn't been seen or heard from in nearly a year, sadly, unless I missed an announcement somewhere. ;_; He's missed by many.

I don't believe BSPlayer crashes are the fault of Haali's splitter.
