• When I try to play the converted MKV on Sony TV only to find no sound comes from Bravia.
• I have bought a brand new Sony Bravia KDL-32EX650. The problem is that it does not recognize MKV video files. I'm able play AVI and MP4 formats, but not MKV videos. Can anyone help?
• I cannot play any movies with .mkv (via USB/external HDD directly attached to this TV , no issues on playing other movie formats) If a USB has a movie with .mkv extension, I can navigate through folders, as soon as I go to folder which include .mkv file, it doesn't load, or play.
• Just recently, we bought a new Sony Bravia TV, the KDL37EX403U, with a few reasons including that it supports playing HD video files directly from USB. All went well until I loaded a few MKV (720p AVC/H264 encoded) files onto a USB drive and found that the TV does not list them.
