VLC Embeded title Doesnt Match The Filename Title

When you first play the video in VLC the embedded title appears for brief moment and remains at the top of the video.

This embedded title shows up with different name compared to the filename.

You can't - Right click on the file then details and rename it - it wont rename
You can't - Play the movie in VLC, then tools, media info and rename title - it wont rename
You can't - use Mp3tag or TagAndRename - it wont rename

You can rename it with mkvmerge as it will remux the video.

To do this open VLC, go to Tools,then Preferences, the select Show All Settings

On the left column select Input/codec, then scroll down on the right hand side to Change title according to current media.
