It is working with WMP but crashes Powerpoint and Windows Media Services.

Reproducible with your file.

Version 0.9.2 is working. The converted file with  
99bb88c588ea9a46a06b966b9014394385ebe1c3 and above did not work within 
Powerpoint.

Please let me know how I can further help to identify the issue.

Thanks,
Juan
