Hi. I joined some old xvid avi's and wound up re-encoding the file to hevc stored in mkv using VideoReDo. I tried to play the file with MPC-BE 1.5.4 portable and nothing happens. MPC-BE starts, sits for a couple seconds and then closes. The video never starts. I couldn't find anywhere to turn on a logfile so I have no further details. I found MPC-HC has been updated by Clsid so I tried that (MPC-HC 1.9.0) and it plays fine. I also tested the file in Kodi and it plays there as well. Out of curiosity I remuxed with mkvmerge and then MPC-BE played it fine. So, it seems that MPC-BE might have a bug in its mkv parser?
