MKV is a bit of a tricky container format, you actually need to find a MP4 stream which the iPad Mini can play just fine with hardware acceleration. The problem is apple approved apps must use the defines Public APIs o view video and not private APIs. This means to view MKV videos they can't make direct calls to use the hardware. As such they fall back to software decode which is crappy. The best you can do is get a program on your computer to convert MKV to iPad Mini compatible format like MP4.
