What's the best video player for Android that supports .mkv playback?
I gave Mobo Player a spin, it plays the .mkv files, but I can't seem to change the video size/resolution.
I also tried mVideoPlayer, but I only get sound with a blank/black screen when trying to play the .mkv videos.
Is there anything else I can try?

I've tried everything and only Dice player works well. However, it still doesn't run smoothly on Tegra 2...it works great on Tegra 3 though (Transformer Infinity).

None of the Android player changes MKV file size/resolution. What you need is a MKV Converter software that is capable of compressing video and adjusting resolution. Have a try with Pavtube MKV Converter.

You may use VPlayer for Android, which has full and real hardware acceleration!

Many players have this problem.. try software decoding instead.. bsplayer lite is pretty good but has ads 8( this is a question that I came here hunting an answer for also. Alas on an arm6vfp based phone I don't think it is possible.

.mkv format is a high quality format which requires good system resources.Trying to play .mkv files on low to mid range phones will not play without any glitch as it requires a powerful CPU to encode and decode it.You can try QQplayer which has inbuilt codecs - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tencent.research.drop&hl=en

I've heard great things about DicePlayer. It supports full hardware decoding; give it a try: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.inisoft.mediaplayer.trial&hl=enThe focus on hardware decoding means it won't run on every device, but it'll run really well on the devices it supports.

Never mind, I found that a cracked .apk of mVideoPlayer Pro 2.9.1 seemed to do trick for me, I guess 2.9.0 was bugged.
