You may be on to something here. I do know for a fact that one of the 1080p blu 
ray movies I have does indeed play, and taking a look it is indeed MKV format. 
The couple I remember having issues with are in AVI format.

I'll have to take a look into converting those and see if it helps any.

Regards,
Nick
