Video Freeze After MKV Creation

I am having a problem with some of my Bluray backups. Most of the time MakemMKV works fine for me however some of time the .mkv file that it creates does not work properly. I will start to play the file with Media Player Classic and it seems to be going fine for about 5 seconds. After that the video just freezes completely and the audio keeps going. If I try and skip to a later part the video freezes at that exact part and the audio plays from there.
Like I said this is only with some Bluray's and not all of them. The most recent one I had trouble with was "The Kingdom". I have done some searching but cannot seem to find out why this is happening.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi!
If you have a software BluRay player, use MakeMKV to make a FULL disc backup of one of the BluRays that resulted in a problematic .MKV, use IMGBurn to create an .ISO image file - and mount it using Virtual Clone Drive.
If, on playback, it exhibits the same problem as the .MKV that would indicate a problem with the physical disc.
If it plays back properly, use the hard drive version of the disc to make a new .MKV.
If the new .MKV once again exhibits these problems, we'll call on "mike admin".
BTW - A guess on my part is that the problematic .MKVs may have excessively high bitrates that your player can't cope with...

to make mkv with dtshd work, you have to use eac3togui to extract video and audio stream, next mux the audio and video stream to a .m2ts file using tsmuxergui. Should play fine now on any standalone bluray player.

Or, considering you're replying to a nearly 7 year old thread, one COULD use a more modern player that understands DTS-HD. Those became available 5 or 6 years ago.
