I have been slowly converting my collection of hdtv caps (mpeg2 in .ts) of Veronica Mars to x264 in mkv. I did about half in June and have just started on the rest of them. The first half all work just fine in VLC. However, (I updated megui) these new ones refuse to play in VLC. MPC can play them just fine though.
Here is the output from AVInaptic for one of my older encodes:

Is there anything specific that I'm doing wrong or does VLC just not support the most recent revision of x264 for some reason? The only difference I can see is which verison of x264 I actually used to encode the video, all of the encoding options are the same. I also see that I used a different version of mkvmerge to mux the video/audio.
Any ideas?
