I just tryed remuxing the .ts (and removing unneeded languages and 
subtitles) file to another .ts before converting to matroska and it works!

cat 00001.ts  00002.ts > merged.ts
ffmpeg -y -ss 00:01:06 -map 0.0 -map 0.1 -i merged.ts -vcodec copy 
-sameq -acodec copy simplified1.ts
ffmpeg -y -i simplified1.ts  -vcodec copy -sameq -acodec copy -async 2 
-f matroska 1.mkv

Much simpler indeed and no risk to have a small glitch in the meddle of 
the cut.

Grreee. I will need another night to redo better .mkv.
