Long loading time when playing back MKV movies

I'm back on Matroska format after a while. I had posted a few months ago that I was unable to playback MKV files featuring subtitles. It's became OK after updating to DirectX 9. So I was pretty happy and I muxed all my recent movies into Matroska instead of OGM. Everything was really working great, except a 30-60 seconds loading time when playing back the movie on the HD.

Then I've decided to record my movies to CD in order to free some space on my HD. The loading time has then turned into more than 5 minutes. I could bear it for a 1 CD movie, but for a 2 CDs rips it's just very annoying.

My guess is that the movie is parsed all over before starting playing back. Is that true? In that case, is there a way to disable this parsing and to start the playing at once as with the OGM format? Is there another tip to make the playback start more rapidly.

Otherwise I will just have to throw my CDs away and to come back to that dear old OGM!

FYI I've tested this on the two following configurations with the same outcome:

1) Athlon XP 1600+; AIW-9000 Pro; RAM 512 MB; Acer CDRW 20; DVD Sony
2) Notebook Dell Latitude; PIV-M 1.8; Mobility Radeon 7500
The Ultra DMA mode is activated in both configurations. And as a matter of facts, it takes a similar time to engrave the CD than starting playing it back! I use the TCMP V4 RC4 player.

All my movies have 2 sound (OGG vorbis) and subtitles (SRT) tracks.

Thanx for helping.
