I do realize the split itself is unorthodox in its means of creation, however, why would it play on the pc, but not on the tv?
http://www.winnydows.com - that's where the encoder is from, and I used a daily beta to make that split. Its earlier opensourced version fares better, although not faster:
http://code.google.com/p/xvid4psp/downloads/list. Really is an amazing piece of software if you're with xbox 360 without lan and need subs to work.
found two more files it wouldn't play:

Says "cannot read file" in both cases although in case of forbidden kingdom started playing preview. both files naturally work on pc.
Also need your advice - given this tv doesn't see subtitles unless the file is .avi + .srt, what software do I use to convert my .mkv => .avi + .srt if mkv has h264 inside and what audio codec would work in this new avi?
upon conversion of the initial file to mkv - the file becomes unplayable completely and only playable on pc with vlc, but not with mpc, converted with mkv merge, like you suggested.
