I haven't gotten much feedback on the issue I've had where some MKVs from MakeMKV crash MPC-HC. Has no one seen anything like this before? Or is this sort of thing common?

I was experimenting with the Spider-Man 3 MKV from MakeMKV that was crashing MPC-HC, trying to find out why some clips I created with MKVMerge would crash MPC-HC, and other clips would not. I finally narrowed it down to some relatively short clips that do crash MPC-HC! Here are two sequential 20 second clips, the first one (313) plays fine in MPC-HC, while the second one (314) crashes MPC-HC:

I used MKVMerge to split the problematic MKV up into 406 clips of 74MB each. I found that clips 314 - 319 all crashed MPC-HC but played fine in VLC. All the other clips that I tried played fine in MPC-HC (I did not try all 406, but I tried a number of them from different times).

It turns out that all 6 crashing clips contain the time (in the original MKV) from 1:47:20 to 1:49:10 which is, I believe, from the beginning of chapter 41 to the beginning of chapter 42. Something in that chapter creates clips that crash MPC-HC.

Any idea why that is?
