I had tried popcorn and it seemed to work on my already converted files however I think I am going to change directions. Is there an app that will bulk convert my video file archive to h264(AAC,AC3,MP3) and recode the video and audio only if needed to save time?
Get plex to recognize tinymediamanager mp4#
I don't see any option to pass the video if it is already h264 format but that would be great if I can find an ap to do that too.īased on my limited knowledge, I think I'd prefer MKV over MP4 if I can get an ap that will make ROKU-compatible MKV files. I noted handbrake had an option to pass selected audio formats through without reencoding.

MakeMKV works well for converting my library of DVDs as it allows me to specify a ROKU compatible audio codec but when I tried to run these MKV (h264,ogg) files through it, it ignored the vorbis audio and output only video. Dumb me for not testing a sample first and assuming MKV was MKV and that is all that mattered. It took over 10 days to process my first batch. It converted the audio to vorbis which ROKU doesn't recognize. I have hundreds of AVI files that I tried to convert with an AVI2MKV tool, only to find it produced silent movies. It seems to be most happy with h264 video coupled with AAC, AC3 or MP3 audio in MKV, MP4 or MOV containers. Only to learn that the built-in Roku Media Player is extremely limited. I recently bit the bullet and replaced my old analog tv with a so-called Smart Roku TV.
