MKV Skipping Solution: Select Tools > Preferences menu to open Preferences dialog, then select All at the bottom of the dialog, and then select Input/Codecs on the left. On the right of the dialog, in Advanced group, set the value of File caching to 1000.

Choppy Solution: Try to disable hardware decoding. Go to Tools > Preferences menu, select Input/Codecs > Video codecs > FFmpeg. And then set the value of Hardware decoding to Disable in Decoding group.

For users who prefer to stick with VLC and do not want to convert MKV to VLC supported formats or use another MKV Player either, there are left with no choice but to tweak some settings with VLC itself or disable the hardware decoding. But it does not always work out and you may get confused if setting stuff is totally new to you.
