You forgot to explain in this mail how you reproduce 
the problem.

Well, I do;-)
(But I usually prefer default verbosity, it is imo a 
bug that we removed the filterchain from the default 
output.)

It seems only FFmpeg likes the way it muxes x264 into 
mpeg-ps. (If this was reported before, I forgot about 
it.)

Otoh, given that all software I tested (except FFmpeg) 
failed with h264-in-evo, my first guess - that could of 
course be wrong - is that this is not a FFmpeg-related 
bug;-)

The audio part seems to be a duplicate of Ticket #1720.
(I did not realize it is not WMP-specific.)
