Hi Kyle, no ideas I am afraid. I am able to open .mkv files here with no problems, both instant open and frame-by-frame open.
One thing I am not able to reproduce is opening to png, since ubuntu 14.04 (the only system I have to test with right now) has broken mplayer which cannot decode to png/alpha. Can you try this: go into Prefences / Decoding and set the image type to jpeg, then try opening the file again. Let me know if it fixes the problem or if it still happens.
