The LG Blu-ray Player is up-to-date to support 3D Blu-ray movies in Full HD 1080P, up-scale DVD to near HD quality, and many videos in DivX, MKV, MP4, etc formats. However, some users still have problems when playing some 1080P MKV files with LG Blu-ray player. Issues as below:

Q1: "I'm used to play .avi and .mkv files on my LG Blu ray player (LG BD550) via a usb drive, it works fine. However, the LG Blu-ray player won't play my 1080p MKV files, error message like this: "this movie may not play properly", actually it plays fine on my laptop. Anybody knows why and how to solve?"

Q2: "I have bought and installed LG Bluray player, and it supports USB features, and the ability to play MKV files. However, when I plugged my USB drive into the player, it couldn't play the MKV file. It simply said something along the lines of 'There might be a problem playing this file', and didn't play it."

Actually, MKV is a file container that could contain a variety of video and audio compression formats. If your videos have been encoded with Header Stripping (activated by default in the later versions of mkvmerge); or it's using a higher profile (High@L5.1) than the player can deal with (usually High@L4.1 or lower); or it's been encoded with more Ref Frames than the player can handle; etc. Probably, the LG Blu-ray Player won't play these 1080P MKV files. Fortunately, this tutorial will share some tips and tricks to solve your problems.

Solution 1. Re-encode MKV Files from High@L5.1 to High@L4.1
