Use your PC and use handbreak to convert it to mp4. You can keep the same resolution or downgrade it to make it smaller. then copy it back.

VLC media player will be coming "sometime soon" to WP8.1 which will allow for .mkv and other format playbacks.

Moliplayer is out now... Works great and supports virtually all formats. I know it plays mkv for a certainty. I've found it to be well worth the money.

MoliPlayer Pro | Windows Phone Apps+Games Store (United States)
