Matroska file plays with macroblock errors; it's OK in PC

[Perene]

I tried to play this piece of a Matroska in VLC for iOS (using iPAD 4, last iOS version). Failed, because during reproduction, the video shows macroblock errors. However, it's fine when you play in MPC-HC for PC.

The source of this Matroska is a DVD from the movie, so it's lossless, since it was extracted with MakeMKV/AnyDVD. More info:
