Meta seek element is split into two elements. The first's located at the start of the file containing only a small number of level 1 elements. The clusters are referenced in a second meta seek element located at the end of the file. Removed the options "--meta-seek-size" and "--no-meta-seek". Added the option to disable that second meta seek entry, "--no-clusters-in-meta-seek".

you're really desperate for space or for testing purposes. See also option
\fB\-\-cues\fR which can be specified for each input file.
.TP
\fB\-\-no\-meta\-seek\fR
The meta seek information is stored along with the headers at the beginning
of the file and points to the cue entries (the index). This allows a player
to quickly find the index and uses very little space. It should be left on
and only disabled for testing purposes. At the moment \fB\-\-no\-cues\fR
implies \fB\-\-no\-meta\-seek\fR.
.TP
\fB\-\-meta\-seek\-size\fR \fId\fR
Reserve \fRd\fR bytes for the meta seek information (see
\fB\-\-no\-meta\-seek). Default value is 100 bytes which should be enough.
\fBmkvmerge\fR will abort with an appropriate warning message if the space
is not enough and also provide the optimal size to use with this option.
This option is normally not needed.
\fB\-\-no\-clusters\-in\-meta\-seek\fR
Tells \fBmkvmerge\fR not to create a meta seek element at the end of the file
containing all clusters. See also the section about \fBMATROSKA FILE LAYOUT\fR.

\fB\-\-no\-lacing\fR
Disable lacing for all tracks. This will increase the file's size, especially

e.g. +0100 or -0200. An example would be 2003-07-30T19:10:16+0200.
.SH MATROSKA FILE LAYOUT
.LP
The Matroska file layout is quite flexible. \fBmkvmerge\fR will render a file
in a predefined way. The resulting file looks like this:
.LP
[EBML head] [segment {meta seek #1} {attachments} {chapters}
[segment information] [track information] [cluster 1] {cluster 2} ...
{cluster n} {meta seek #2} {tags}]
.LP
The elements in curly braces optional and depend on the contents and options
used. Some notes:
.TP
*
meta seek #1 includes only a small number of level 1 element, and only if
they exist: attachments, chapters, tags, meta seek #2. Older versions of
\fBmkvmerge\fR used to put the clusters into this meta seek element as well.
Therefore some imprecise guessing was necessary to reserve enough space. It
often failed. Now only the clusters are stored in meta seek #2, and meta
seek #1 refers to the meta seek element #2.
.TP
*
Attachment, chapter and tag elements are only present if they were added.
.LP
The shortest possible Matroska file would look like this:
.LP
[EBML head] [segment [segment information] [track information] [cluster 1]]
.LP
This might be the case for audio-only files.
