The reason why video from this particular file can't be streamed is that it uses a proprietary video codec (Matroska codec id: 
V_MS/VFW/FOURCC) for which there is no standard RTP payload format.

Note that the file "test2.mkv" (from the same web site) can be streamed OK (it uses H.264 for video).

However, I don't suggest using the Matroska files from that web site, because many of them were specifically designed to illustrate various errors or anomalies in Matroska files.
