tsmuxer cannot remux some mkv (pes packet too large)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. try to watch some mkv (E:\download\blackswan-720p.mkv in attached log 
file)on my sony KDL5500W 
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is the movie :)
Instead my TV displayed "video indisponible" on a black screen. Tsmuxer aborted 
remuxing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
ps3ms: 1.21.1
OS: windows 7 64 bit pro

If you are transcoding a media file, which engine are you using (mencoder, 
avisynth/mencoder, tsmuxer?)
Mencoder was used to transcoded but its output was incorrect for tsmuxer

If the media file is in error (or does not play flawlessly), what are the codec 
informations of this file (you can use following program: 
mediainfo.sourceforge.net) ?

Please provide any additional information below and PLEASE JOIN debug.log file 
!!

I have one MKV file that generate me this error "Pes packet len too large ( 
>100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec speciffed." when I play it. Name of the 
file can you find ind debug.log.

The mediainfo for this mkv file is:

I think the is in some relation to VBR bitrate. So I use the software AVI-Mux 
GUI 1.17.8.3 to convert it to CBR, constant bitrate.
This new converted mkv can be muxed correctly without the error.
I must covert DTS to AC3 too, after that I played mkv direclty on me TV.
But for txmuxer without this error I need only convert it to CBR...

The media info for this converted mkv is:

Have I the truth, is something with VBR??,... but it can be something else 
(DTS, AC3...) 

Some others commnets:
I try the version PS3 MEDIA SERVER 1.10.5 with txmuxer version 1.8.18.
This PS3 Media server 1.10.5 remux old mkv and the new converted mkv without 
the error.

I try the version PS3 MEDIA SERVER 1.22.0 with older txmuxer version 1.8.18.
The error "Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec 
speciffed." was egnerated.

So I think it's not txmuxer problem. Combination PS3 Media server 1.22.0 with
txmuxer version 1.10.XX can be the problem. Something with CBR, DTS...

Debug in attachments....

I hope you can you see the media info difference. I hope this helps for 
correction this issues because I must now use the PS3MS 1.22.0 for all files 
and on other computer PS3MS 1.10.5 for mkv with this problem, because on one 
computer is thi imposible because of the same PMS.CONF for the both version. I 
cant. configurate it to run on others ports on the same computer so I need too 
PC.

I confirm that the problem still happen with the last version 1.30.1.
I have no time to investigate so i don't know if it's PS3 or tsmuxer the 
problem.

This contains the solution:

it's a memory issue... some mkv goes out of memory with ps3mediaserver
increasing it fix the issue
