iPad doesn't support MKV files. iPad vide players still can't support it well, you have to convert.

Just for clarification: VLC got removed from the App Store ages ago. So, it's not a viable alternative.

There is an app there called vlc streamer and another called vlc remote. One streams from your PC and the other is a remote control app that let you control vlc running on a PC.

AVPlayer HD works great. I haven't found a video that won't play using it. It's worth the $5 or whatever it costs now.
