Fuc***g spam for useless paying product...

In fact, just use mkvmerge as usual (totally free), and in the third tab for the video file, chose to disable the header compression.
The file will be readable without any problem.

Must be a lovely swindle if you have to spam like this to spread this paying product....

I had the same problem on my mede8er with some mkv files: a blank (black) screen, but i could hear the audio. Some mkv files didnt work at all ("invalid file").

I tried the solution from the opening post, but the .CMD file didnt work. The cmd file says that it requires mkvtoolnix 4.1.1, but the downloadlink from the post is mkvtoolnix 4.2.0, so maybe thats why. So i now i fix my files manually in mkvtoolnix 4.2.0.

Here is a screenshot with instructions:

Its dutch but the layout for other languages is the same so it will be useful for non-dutch too.

This bug is fixed since v4 firmware.
Just upgrade.

that cmd don't require 4.1.1, in principles can be done to work with any version.
it is just a batch script.

@Nosoul is right, use v4 if is fine for you

For me this problem actually started after i updated to firmware 4.

Try latest v4.0.4 or beta5.
is very possible to have another issue quite different then header compression
