    Someone gave me an mkv which I wanted to play in MP, but when I try, the screen goes blank and it doesn't play. No audio or anything. It is described as 720p x264 AC3-5.1.

    I have made mkv files myself containing my blu-ray h.264 movies, and these play fine in MP.

    I can play the file in WMP 11, and I can also play the file in MP if I tick the "Automatic Decoder Settings" checkbox in the MP config. But I'm a little worried about leaving this checkbox ticked permanently.

    Anyone know why this is happening?

    Thanks.
