Can it play alt audio found in some mkv files? How about softcoded subtitles in the mkv files?

I did not try .iso files, however it has had no problem playing .mov,avi,MP4,mkv or divx files. For the price the unit works really nice.

It can play MKV files of any size (supports FAT32 & NTFS). Don't think it's region free...

I have the same problem, and I understand it is to do with the way the audio was encoded when the mkv was made, and what the encoder was intending the file to be played on. There is lots of discussion about it here: http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=56433&page=3 and it may be fixable. I have not tried yet. HTH

Yep! I would suggest choosing the program to play it through instead of letting it autoplay, but it has a disk drive.

That is how I burn MKV to a DVD-R disc--as a DATA disc. Then when it comes up, I select it and it plays, unless it happens to be something the LG doesn't like. There are a few videos in MKV containers it will not play on disc but will play on a USB stick.

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

Yes it can, however with the software provided you might have to convert the mov file to a mp3 audio file format, for example using prism file convert available here http://download.cnet.com/Prism-Video-File-Converter-Free/3000-2194_4-10644345.html

It does however mkv's movies will not work on fat32 If you have good computer you can install plex server and it will stream it to ps3 or any dlna supported device.Thats what I currently do is stream my library with plex media server and I can also access any where with internet on iphone or android

Theoretically, yes. Practically, depends on the device you're playing back media on. In my case, it's a sony blue ray. I have to manually edit config xml file in order to mkvs to be detected as is, since I don't want to transcode something that is playable on the device. The worst thing about editing config files manually is, that after each upgrade of Plex, I have to re-edit them :-(

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

OK - problem solved.mkv files can be encoded with a whole array of different audio profiles. I needed to have simple mp3/stereo to work with my TV.You can easily convert 'your' mkv file to the audio profile you need by using the free Avidemux software (ask Google). Load your mkv into Avidemux, then in the left column set:Video = CopyAudio = MP3 (Lame)Configure = StereoFilter = StereoWorked for me.And solved a similar problem with no audio on MP4 files.Good luck!

Hmmm. I've used it quite a bit on mkv's connected to an hdtv and it was fine, no stutter or lag. I downloaded a sample .rmvb file, 10 seconds long, and it played fine with vlc, but neither esfile explorer's viewer or the built in video application would recognize it. I am not familiar at all with rmvb files, so i do not know if there is more than one type or different quality, but the one i had was about 1.1meg for a 10 second clip at 320x480. hope that helps.

I've used it as well but the sound file that played with the movie was commentary from the director. And I've tried it on several movies. I'm sure there is a way to get the right sound track but don't know how.

Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

You can pick an alternate language with the remote control, which will explore the soundtrack of the file for alternate lanaguages. I have noticed that u can't get audio from the hdmi out of a pc- possibly you can with a Windows 7 or later adjustment, so I listened to sound off the pc itself at first. Recently bought a soundbar, and placed it beneath the front of the TV for sound, which is better enough so that you can interpret, as an American, the english dialect of the main character in the Imitation Game, so you can interpret the major revelation of the plot. Otherwise, without subtitles, you will not learn the woman's bar chatter that cued the lead how to solve the enigma problem!
