Thanks, jdobbs, for the response and very helpful info. I figured that the answer would be that it's probably best to re-encode to ensure compatibility. I'd rather not alter the original stream if I didn't have to, and since I've only had issues with a small percentage of MKV's, I was hoping that there would be a simple way to determine if a steam is incompatible in advance, rather than after burning to physical media. It appears that there is not a simple way. Then again, to your point, even the ones that "work" may not be totally compliant and just happen to work in my 2 players. Thanks again.
