Thanks man for testing!
But still u converted from blu-ray to mp4-container? ...how about pure mkv 1080p, like 10gb big file (say downloaded from piratebay
)? Is it really enough with hardware juice?You tested usb-drive, i suppose flash drive? Have u tested some extern HDD trough that usb-port?

Aw: Play MKV's on Surface
it was just a conversion of the container, so the Audio and Video-Stream was untouched. The Hardware acceleration worked perfectly and kept the cpu-usage on a low-mid-level. Only 2 or 3 framedrops, due to the small bandwith of the surface. So the surface is capable of playing 1080p content

Superb, nice to know! Now is just wait for some app from windows store which can play all mkv's without some conversion.
MX Player from android, please come to windows RT :cool2:
P.S. can be downloaded this app from Surface store? http://www.greatwindowsapps.com/app/8441f98d-c8e7-4ee1-9c1a-6f08f46e51f3
Maybe this app plays all mkv's without problems?

It seems that this app cannot support mkv's with DTS, only AC3. And so far no .srt support either.

The latest update for mobile.HD player now lets it support DTS audio and subtitle support with the option to turn subtitles off and on. Just tried a DTS with subtitle 720p .mkv and it played perfectly!! I have tried iPads and Android tabs and have never found a program where it has worked as well as this. Kudos to mobile.HD, well worth it for anyone who plays .mkv files.

I just tried an mkv with the settings above and it won't let me play the file it seems. And I'm on the latest update of the program

I checked the update log, it listed subtitles and DTS, but nothing about dual language options.
