I guess the file is badly encoded and has some issues. I did the transcoding from mkv to mp4 on a machine I don't normally use - it might have some bad settings, or perhaps just the sources were bad to start with. Here's the log:

Windows Media Player and my video editor have no issues playing the file though. Maybe there are some VLC settings I need that help it not get so affected by these errors. I tried editing just the first 10 seconds of the video using FFMPEG to use as a sample, but that involved further transcoding and it removed the problem. I'd rather not upload the file (as it's a TV show I downloaded and ideally wouldn't want to be the one uploading it to a server).
