    Perhaps try a full re-code of the MPEG4 video into an h264 video (from AVI to MKV) and see if that works. If it does, then it could hint that the device doesn't support MPEG4 video in MKVs.

    Did it play on the TV? It's an MP4 with h264 video, so it's different from the MKVs you were trying to create previously of course.

    I would like to use MKV because the subtitle is bigger then when I play it on TV directly. Can you suggest any software tool which allows merging of SRT subtitles to egzisting AVI file?
    In that case I would not have to bother with small subtitles...

    I don't think that your TV supports MKVs with an MPEG4 video stream in them - all examples you've provided point to the fact that MKVs play with h264 and AVIs play with MPEG4, but MKVs with MPEG4 do not play. You'll need to do full re-coding of your AVIs, changing the video stream from MPEG4 to h264 if you want to use MKVs.

    I cannot recommend any particular software to embed subtitles into an AVI file, but one thing to keep in mind is - does the TV support subtitles as a stream in an AVI file at all?

    You are probably right... but what does make a change that some files which are not supported on TV are transcoded in Mezzmo app. but other are not transcoded nor streamed. Theoretically, you could make a profile which will alow all AV to be properly transcoded and streamed, right?
