mkvmerge not compatible with Win7 ?

[Anakunda]

Hi, having often problems with mgvmerge cmdline tool. If muxing from sources on external drive and/or to target on external USB drive, I get BSOD. I never got BSOD when muxing from internal to internal drive. Also I never got BSOD when plain copying from/to external drive. Does mkvmerge use a nonstandard or low-level disc access API ?

that's not possible unless your system is screwed. no disk write can lead to a BSOD...

I already have asked at another forum and got generic explanation about not using non-compatible software which may cause problems when accessing external drives.
So I don't understand why's that. In fact I only get BSODs when executing mkvmerge from external drive.

Sounds like a hard drive OR ram problem.
Blue screen = broken hardware or drivers, usually.
