I don't think that the mkv's are corrupt, to be honest I'm not 100% sure
it was kill bill that caused the crashes in kaa.metadata. When I
investigated the mpeg crash, it was that the data kept being red until
there was not more data. What I can do is to check all the mkv's against
mminfo to see one or more doesn't return sensible data.

Happy holidays,
Duncan
