I have the same issue. I think the video needs to be converted through kies. I am trying it now.
well what's the point in converting the video?? when it was said it could play mkv & mp4
Well is there no solution for this?

Its prob due to mkv being encoded wrong. Mkv are just video containers the combination for it is big so sgs might not be able to play itif it uses some strange ass codec. Go complain to samsung

just google mediainfo download and open file with it. It will tell you what audio codex is being used not all mkv files are the same. Check out a website called afterdawn it has a lot of info on different file types and converting them.

no phone AFAIK plays DTS audio. Check your audio codec.
For MKVs you can use mkvextract to extract what's in the container then convert the audio into MP3 or AAC and then use YAMB to recombine them as an MP4. Works a treat for me.
I might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere about audio not being playable if it's encoded as anything other than stereo (5.1 etc).
Just might be the reason for specific .mkv files having issues.
You are dead right, Also MKV's are known to have more then one audio track so thats also another problem.
So, are there any videos which are being played in your sgs?
If you can give me some links of those I would be happy

I was surprised to find that the Xoom will recognize MKV files. However, I tried 3 so far and all of them stutter and there is no sound.
wow thats a surprise. probably needs a codec
if it is like every other tegra 2 device it will do 720p mkv's as long as they are not High-Profile ones.... and most you "download" are high profile.... just need to reencode them.
which xoom player are you using? sometimes,the video formats played on xoom based on the player. if the player can't played the file well, you may try another one or just use a tool to convert mkv file to xoom compatible format

I am a little disappointed in the Xoom for not being able to play 720p mkv files properly.
I have a lot of .mkv video files and I love to watch movies on a tablet.
So can the galaxy tab play 720p mkv files without problem?
Well i didn't know that whether Galaxy play or not but the new MacBook pro can play 720p video.

mkv is a container. If the video was encoded using h.264, the tab will play.
Wtf, why bother mentioning a macbook? Are you on pills, or did you forget to take them??
The Sgt plays all kinds of videos, even 1080p without any problems.
Yes, the SGT can play 720p .mkvs with no issue, it's something I do on a regular basis with mine.

The tab handles greatly hd video. For some reason it even supports mkv and external subtitles with the built in player. Aaaand my mid 2008 MacBook already plays with no issue full hd video, so it goes without question that a newer cpu coupled with a decent/good video chip will play a simple 720p file XD

Galaxy Tab is a good video player and play the most formats. Only if it has stereo sound. It cant handle multichannel audio.
And a sad thing is that most of the mvk movies has multichannel 5.1 DD dts etc. So you need to convert them ao you get stereo sound or it wont play the movie.
Galaxy Tab has a really good stock player. Rockplayer vplayer cant compare to the stock one that works great.
I belive that those who have problems whit playing movies whit xoom, have movies whit multichannel. Have not got any answer if android 3.0 can handle it. I now that android 2.2 Cant handle it and had hopes that 3.0 should play multichannel.

720p should work fine.
I managed to play 2 1080p movies on the plan with no problems

i have test it with any 720p .mkv movies multichannel or not and plays them perfect with the build in player. Ultra smooth and very low battery usage.
And if you change the coding inside the srt file you can have greek subtitles too

What version of the Galaxy Tab do you have?? (Sprint, Verizon, Locked / Unlocked etc..??)
I have some 720p MKV videos with H264 video AAC audio that I wanted to load onto my Xoom, so far I haven't been able to get it playing smoothly at 720p with mp4 H264 and AAC audio but Mpeg4 seems a little blocky.
Does anyone have any suggestions on FormatFactory (or some other mass conversion tools) settings I can use that gives me the best video quality at a good frame rate?
from how i understand it the Tegra 2 has issues playing high profile H.264, i had a notion ink adam for a week and it was the same thing on this as well.
when i get my wifi xoom ill test it but i expect the same results.
I loved my zoom but I think that's one of the most unacceptable situation for zoom. good amount of people bought zoom is for video play back. at the least, if you should be able to play anything you throw at it. I hate apple but that's one I cannot trash the ipad

In Windows 7 it tells me with a lot of file extensions that they are not compatible but I ignore the message and copy them anyways. Then they play nicely on the Xoom. I've used .m4v, .mp4, .mkv, .avi.... just ignore the error message and copy the files. Then use Rock Player Lite to play.
i don't know about the format factory, i download a free version of a xoom video tool, it recommend the h.264 mp4, size: 1280*752, frame rate:30fps, bitrate:1500
The above parameters are just for your reference, sometimes, video playback quality also is based on your xoom player.
whats the name of the tool?
what is the name of the tool / free xoom conversion software you used?

In the first place, i help u find the formats that xoom support.
Audio Playback Supports: MP3, AAC, ACC+Enhanced, OGG, MIDI, AMR NB, AAC
Video Playback Supports: MPEG-4， H.264，H.263
u need to convert your mkv to mp4. i use Fox Real Xoom video converter and set the parameter is mp4, h.264, 1280*752, 1500kbps, 30fps, and i can get full screen on the xoom.
so i suggest u also set on Formatfactory according to the parameters. hopefully it can help u!

i used a free version of a tool which named xoom video converter, but there is a logo "foxreal" in the centre of the screen. at last, i took about $23 to buy a official version, now everything is ok.
I put a standard dvdrip in .avi on my xoom and it says it needs a codec....

Rockplay Lite work for you? It's worked for me...
it says "Not play hardware codec, move to software codec!!"
wtf lol
just downloaded rockplayer. It gives me the choice of using software or hardware codec but both fail. Downloading a new movie....
I know this is slightly off topic, but I have been using DVD Catalyst to rip DVD's for my Xoom and I am extremely impressed with the ease of use and the quality of the converted files. The files play perfectly with the default movie player full screen and the "volume maximizer" works very well.
I know this may not help if you already have DVD rips as I know converting files multiple times does not always work very well, but thought I should mention it.
I do not work for them, just a happy customer.
Just tried another video in both players, same problem. Any ideas?

Wait, I thought the Xoom could play many different formats.
Use MoboPlayer
You need to use the Moboplayer. Get it from the market or from their home page
moboplayer.com
Use the Medium V6 VFP version on your Xoom.
It plays just about every video format out there.
ya, that made all my divx work and i didnt have to convert anything =D
I hated re-encoding everything to Xoom format until I found MoboPlayer. Sit back and enjoy your movies
Motorola didn't pay to get their tablet "Divx certified", so you have to use third party players to handle avi/mkv files. The only negative about having to use a third party player is that its using the CPU to play the file and will drain the battery at a faster rate than if the Xoom was hardware decoding it.
Does anyone know if the Moboplayer will play MTS files? My Panasonic DMC-ZS3 camera captures 720p movie using the AVCHD (MPEG-4/H.264) format, via AVCHD lite..... The saved file is an MTS file and I'd love to be able to play it natively without re-encoding it........
Hi I have a nexus 7 and want to move some videos from my pc to the tablet but a couple of them are in mkv format. Does anyone know if there are any good mkv converters in the market(google play). I know there are plenty out there but has anyone used one on their Nexus 7, and can confirm they work ok? Or is it best to convert it first on my Windows 7 desktop before transfering to the Nexus
Thanks in advance
I use BSPlayer to play MKV files. It plays them perfectly smooth and with sound. I've also tried others, such as MXPlayer, but that plays videos without sound.
MKV is a container format which have many Codecs.
Convert the video with your PC.

In my experience, MoboPlayer is the best and MXPlayer follows it!!
I've been playing MKVs locally and across my home network with XBMC
Works great for cover art and subtitles. No lagging or any other issues so far
Thanks again for the replies, believe it or not while I was playing around adding files to my nexus(or trying to I should say) i decided to listen through haedphones. I`ve had it for over a week and have only listened through the speaker, and now I find my headphone jack is not working, so have contacted Google and am getting it replaced.
I usually try all functions straight away and feel stupid that its taken me over a week before i tried headphones
MXPlayer is my first choice and diceplayer is second.

I think you can only transfer files up to 4GB (or something).
You can try using airdroid.

Just change from H/W to s/w decoding and it plays sound fine.
You can also try the beta of vlc player for android. I use it for mkv playback and its awesome.

Dice + plugin if mkv file is on local storageor on a windows/samba share, else Plex. And Plex is wholesome

I use mxplayer but if you want to make them mp4 without a full re-encode, use Xmedia Recode. It will take a large MKV to an MP4 in less than 10 minutes typically.
Generally i use mkvavi2mp4 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mkvavi2mp4/
Only recodes audio when its not compatible with mp4.
I've also used gotsent in the past which worked ok but tended to recode the video when i didn't want.

@OP, Mx Player plays .MKVs, but once in a while it has problems with a certain video, in my experience. In that case I use Dice player [Now ad-free version is Free, donationware]. Also Mx Video doesn't seem to be able to play .AVI with H/W decoding. For some reason Dice Player can though. I dunno why Mx Video doesn't make it so they can H/W decode .AVIs too but nonetheless, it works great for .MKV and .MP4 [x264, h264, etc].

If Mx Video doesn't have any sound, touch the Note icon and select S/W. It will S/W decode pretty much any sound [including AC3] with S/W, but a lot of times it can't decode a certain sound codec with H/W. You can use H/W video and S/W sound at the same time.

BSPlayer is the best out there for mkv IMO. Smooth as butter, also over the network e.g. using a cifs mount.
