Why do you assume MKV equals pirated? I buy all of my stuff. I rip to MKV because it offers the most flexibility for the least space without comprising original quality.
The point I was making is that the industry assumes MKV equals pirated.

The way this hardware decoding stuff works is that things at that level don't care what the file container is. This is just a guess, but if the file container is making a difference then it's probably an XBMC level issue and needs to be fixed there. Amazon never even needs to know you play MKVs.
That being said, if someone could upload a sample file (or point out one that might have already been posted, if I missed it) that demonstrates this issue, I would be your new best friend. I'm attempting to collect various test files in general, plus I'm interested in the progress of this issue directly.
Ned I will clip a sample and put it on dropbox for you shortly.
