Is the sample the exact same one you had in the ts container? If not,
please verify where the video is the same.

Honestly, I find your results surprising. The crystalhd code in mplayer
and in libcrystalhd is container neutral, so if the same video is going
in, the container shouldn't matter. On the other hand, the container
code is decoder neutral, so if it's an mkv bug, I'd expect it to appear
whether you use crystalhd or the software decoder.

Have you tried comparing the native mkv demuxer with the libavformat
one?
