Thanks for the explanation. But the problem is, the byte at position
451451 is 0xEA which is a valid EBML ID right? How does mkvinfo skip
just that byte? FYI, here are the 100 bytes starting from position
451417: http://pastebin.com/jKxthKwF

I ran the file through ffmpeg's matroska parser. That resyncs to the
next level 1 element as soon as it sees the invalid track number (i.e.
position 451518) by doing a byte-by-byte search. So it merely ignores
the value at 451451 as it is not a valid level 1 id.
