I know I have to "disable lacing" when I use MKVmerge, and I m doing so.

The biggest problem is, Win 98 users cannot replay MKV files at all if 
they install Codec Packs 0.6+

I'm not absolutely sure, but in my test, the last Splitter that works 
for Win 98 is 1.0.1.5 dated July.
Of cource I'm using "Release" build, not "Unicode Release", when testing 
on Win98

So, I'm guessing if you recommended a codec pack for general ppl 
including win98 users, v0.5 would be the only one possibility.
I'd rather recommend MPC, because it does work for win98 altho DirectX9 
is needed.
