One thing about muxed MPEG1 movies in Quicktime Player is that they don't
behave like other tracks: In the old days (up to QT5) you used to be able
to copy and paste them in the player, but it was an illusion: You would
always be copying and pasting the entire file regardless of the selection.
Apple has since disabled copy/paste for MPEG1 to manage expectations. Many
people would like to see MPEG1 authoring fully supported by QuickTime Pro,
but it is clear that licensing issues prevent it.
There are some technotes about this

I suspect the issue you are seeing has something to do with this.

That's odd. I would expect this to do the trick. Did you try both of these
things on the same file.
