No hardware player supports MKV.

Demux the MKV, remux to MP4, hope the h.264 is not created using settings that don't work on the PS3.

although, if your video has a higher REF count than 9 it won't work and/or
if the FPS is not 23.976, 29.970, or 59.940 it won't work
most bluray rips that I have encountered, though, usually meet these criteria
Try using multiAVCHD (M2TS)

Reference frame count depends on the frame size of the video, and is limited by the buffer size of the device. Larger frame size means each frame takes more space means the buffer can store less frames before running out. So if your video is 1080p, you can only use about 4 ref frames, while if your video is 480p, even 16 should be fine. So not always 9, that's for 720p.

As for the fps, I don't own a PS3, so I don't really know, but theoretically, shouldn't anything work? (I mean even the PSP can work with prety much anything).

I didn't know that
thanks for the useful knowledge
although I've seen 720p video with REF 16 which won work on PS3
I know there's a limitation on FPS on AVCHD video so as to comply with the AVCHD standard
but it's probably not as limited in MP4 (Haven't tried anything else other than 23.976 and 60 to stay on the safe side)
