such a thing as protected mkv?

[maca]

A strange question. For xmas, I've gotten my wife a blu-ray player and a bunch of discs I know she wants. The player is a Panasonic, and has a usb jack in front as it also plays .mkv files. Tried out 3 mkvs (not created by me); one plays beautifully, but the other 2 prompt the message "cannot play protected DIVX content". DIVX?? All of these files are mkvs, and all play great in my little Micca media player. But the blu-ray player is reading two of them as "protected Divx". So I'm wondering if any experts out there have a clue what would make an mkv read as a divx, and why it would be protected. Thanks.

Nope.

Post the full details from the mkvs that doesn't work. Use MediaInfo.

Thanks, I'll download mediainfo and get on it.

Here are the facts on one of the files as reported by mediainfo. All I've removed is the filename:
