    I have previously encoded some video conent to x264-MKV
    (Megui with default profile & constant quantizer "eighteen")

    When I let VLC-player play the file, it takes forever (about 14 sec.) before the picture shows.
    Why is this?

    I have encoded some other 264/MKV files before and they show almost instantly
    without delay (incl. sound)

    Are you using the latest version of VLC, 8.6, I believe? I'm only guessing that VLC is having a problem locating the proper codecs.

    Files suffer less from start-up lag now.
    Maybe it had to do with very fragmented encodes.
    I tried to move them around between harddisks.
    And htis seems to help.
