Which video player can play 1080p mkv on iPad Mini Retina? The iPad Mini Retina comes with the new A7 chip. However, playing back of a 1080p MKV is still sluggish using VLC. I'd like to know whether other paid video players are better in handling 1080p MKVs?

Some information about the MKV:


1920x1080, x264 10bit
AAC 5.1 720 kbps
Give AVPlayerHD a try. I can't say I've tested 10bit 1080p video on it with an iPad Mini Retina, but it used to work flawlessly for 10bit 720p video on an iPad 2. Since there's a big difference in specs between the two iPads, I don't think  you'll have issues playing your videos with that app.
