Comment (by humdinger):

 I've found the thread [http://www.avsforum.com/avs-
 vb/showthread.php?t=1181902 Official Codec/Container Test Videos] on a
 board. There are two video clip packages linked from it. Pretty big
 archives, together 1.2 GiB. If you don't want to download it all, I can
 bring it to BG023. Although it's apparently supposed to be for testing
 streaming devices, these clips may come in handy for testing MediaKit
 anyway. There are some quite weird formats, some don't play or crash
 MediaPlayer:
  * M2TS: Standard 1080p M2TS ripped from a blu-ray
  * DVR-MS: Microsoft's old proprietary TV recording format
  * WMV9: 1080p WMV9 video with 5.1 WMA audio
  * HDTV: 1080i 60hz HDTV rip, no audio
  * AVCHD: 1080p M2TS from a [http://www.avsforum.com/avs-
 vb/showthread.php?t=1181902# Sony HD camcorder]
  * Improper encode: The infamous Planet Earth clip with an absurd 16
 reframes. The bird scene stutters even on high end PCs
  * DTS: Standard DTS 5.1 audio
  * DTS-MA: 7.1 DTS-MA lossless audio
  * Dolby TrueHD: 7.1 lossless TrueHD audio
  * MP4: 1080p L5.0 Apple trailer with 9 reframes and AAC audio
  * 5.1 FLAC + SSA: Multichannel FLAC audio and SSA (ASS 4.0) subs
 including complex styles and transitions
  * OGG: 720p Ogg Theora video with Vorbis audio
  * RMVB: Real Video variable bitrate. Unknown if it is RM9 or RM10, as
 they both use the same header (RV40)
  * TRP: 1080p Kaon DVB Transport Stream with dual AC3 audio
  * UTF-8: MKV with the following UTF-8 SRT sub tracks: Arabic, Chinese,
 English, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Thai, Turkish
 and Vietnamese
  * Deinterlacing: 1080i test pattern to determine deinterlacing
 capabilities (see [http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1157287
 here] for details)
