VLC freeze after 5 min playing MKV file

[Q100]

When playing certain movie VLC freeze after 5 min. This is case only with one movie, others are OK.

Thanks in advance for your answer

[TypX]

Can you paste the whole verbose logs (tools->messages set verbosity to 2 then start playback) and/or upload the file?

[VLC_help]

Could you test with VLC 1.2.0 nightly builds? (they have many MKV bug fixes)
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D (branches are VLC 1.2.0)

[TypX]

Did you wait for the freeze with this logs? If yes do you have a way to upload the file?

[Q100]

You mean complete movie to upload....???

[Q100]

Teated with VLC 1.2.0 nightly builds, does not work at all...

[TypX]

You mean complete movie to upload....???

Yes (or its source)

Teated with VLC 1.2.0 nightly builds, does not work at all...

What do you mean by "does not work at all"?

[Q100]

It does not start playing movie, it open main window and that is it....
Sorry, source of movie can not find anymore.....on the top of the the log is title ...hope can help...

[TypX]

the verbose logs only show one line? I'm even more interested in that file.

[Q100]

After 5:29 min video is not playing anymore and log is until that point....(correct me if i am wrong).

here is Error message:"Matroska parse error: Invalid EBML number size 0 at pos 209709568".

[VLC_help]

MKVtoolnix might fix that file.
