Can't Play MKV on Roku 3/2 via USB Interface?

'I have a setup running with plex. I play files on my apple tv, but it only supports mp4 files, which makes plex transcode, and my nas can't handle that. Therefore I want to know whether it is possible to buy a Roku 3, set it up, and have it play files like MKV (mostly MKV) and MP4 without any transcoding? Directplay works on all our samsung tv's because they have a vast support of filetypes, does Roku have that too? How can I stream any videos to Roku for nice watching?



Why Can't Play some MKV on Roku via USB?
Though Roku USB channel has the ability to read and play MKV files, there are some restrictions on the MKV files. Roku USB Media Player channel only plays MKV files encoded with H.264 video codec and AAC/MP3/DTS/AC3 audio codec. If the MKV is encoded with other video or audio codec like MPEG-2, WAV and etc, we will fail to play MKV on Roku via USB drive. Such the related question also happened when playing MKV in iTunes.


Preparation: Run MKV files in Roku?
To get those MKV files and Roku 3 to play nicely, the easy workaround is to transcode them to a compatible format. Pavtube Video Converter for Windows/Mac is a great application to convert your video files. It has a codec pack that enables conversion between different video and audio file formats. With the fast speed and easy workflow, it is so convenient for us to make MKV files available for Roku.


Steps on encoding MKV to Roku compatible format MP4:
Step 1.Download and install video converter for Roku on your computer. Run it and directly drag and drop the MKV files that you want into the main window of this converter. You can also add MKV files by clicking the "Add Video" button on the left bottom



Step 2. Choose the right output format. As MP4 is the target format that supported by Roky, thus we are going to select the 'HD Video’>>’H.264 HD Video (*mp4)’ as the best format after clicking the item 'Fomrat’ bar.



Step 3. Tap the 'Convert’ button on the main interface you can easily start your work, then with the right MP4 format, do you still have the problems of importing MKV files to Roku?

Additional tips: Before we start to convert the MKV workflow, we can also adjust the video files in 'Settings’ and 'Edit’ to make more video effects there. Do you wanna a try?

This article outlines the recommended workflow for uploading GoPro MP4 videos onto Youtube for sharing without any issues.



Q: Why Gopro Video won't upload on Youtube?

Hello, I recently purchased Gopro Hero3 Black edition and recorded some videos but it wont upload on youtube. Everytime I try it gets stuck at "processing" and then later gives me error video failed to process. When I go to Video manager to check the error it says "Failed (unable to convert video file)". I don't know what format these videos are recorded in but isnt gopros default format accepted by youtube?

At first I thought maybe its because I am recording in 1440p but then I lowered it down to 1080p @ 60fps that didnt work and then I called gopro and the guy suggested me try 1080p @ 30fps but that didn't work either. So any help on how can I fix this?

Avid Media Composer is a popular video editing software on Windows and Mac, many people use it as a mainly software to edit camcorder or camera recorded videos. But, different cameras record videos in different video formats, such as H.264 MOV, MTS, M2TS, MXF and etc. Today, we’ll talk about how to import P2 MXF files to Avid Media Composer 8 for editing on Mac.



As we know, P2 media is recorded in MXF format, and it offers a variety of formats to choose from (DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, and AVC-Intra 50 and AVC-Intra 100), differing in bit depth (8 or 10 bits), scanning mode (Progressive or Interlaced) and also frame rate. No matter which P2 camcorder you are now having like AJ-HPX2100, AJ-HPX2700, AJ-HPX3000, and AJ-HPX3700, etc you probably would like to edit the recorded P2 MXF footage with an editing program, for example Avid Media Composer 8. While different problems occurred:

"I had no idea that MC8 currently doesn’t support P2 or XDCAM with AMA – Best I can tell Sony or Panasonic has not released updated drivers that support MC8 – My drivers for MC5.5 worked just fine with MC5.5 – but when I visit the update page – no drivers for MC8 are found."

"I have a problem importing .mxf files into my Avid Media Composer 8. Now with MC 8 I only have the import option, and any attempt to just import the files end up with an error message saying that I cannot import the file into a bin, and that I should check documentation."

Problems as you see, the main reason is that MXF is not a natively supported format for Avid Media Composer. It will bring more difficulty to play and edit these files in Avid MC 8 on Mac. So, the best choice is to convert P2 MXF files to Avid MC best accepted format, which ensures maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Avid Media Composer.

Step 2: Select "Avid DNxHD (*.mov)" as output video format compatible with Avid Media Composer. Click the drop-down list in the format line to get the format box. Then choose "Avid Media Composer>>Avid DNxHD (*.mov)" as output format.



Step 3: Click "Settings" button to customize the output video and audio settings by yourself. But if you are not good at it, you’d better use the default parameters, they will ensure you a good balance between file size and image quality basically. You can change the resolution, bit rate, frame rate as you need.

Step 4: You can preview to check the final result. Once you are happy with it, click the "Convert" button to start converting P2 MXF files to Avid DNxHD MOV format. It will take you a little while.

H.265 Converter- Encode/Decode H.265 to MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV on Mac Yosemite

Summary： As the newest codec and with features of smaller size and higher quality, H.265/HEVC has become more and more popular in our video codec area. What brought to us was the related questions. What's the true meaning of H.265/HEVC? How could we convert, edit or play H.265/HEVC videos? Is there any best methods provided for us to handle the H.265 encode and decode workflow well?



Q1: What is H.265/HEVC?
High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) is the latest generation video compression standard developed by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group and ITU-T Video Coding Experts Group, through their Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding. HEVC is also known as ISO/IEC 23008-2 MPEG-H Part 2 and ITU-T H.265. HEVC provides superior video quality and up to twice the data compression as the previous standard (H.264/MPEG-4 AVC). HEVC can support 8K Ultra High Definition video, with a picture size up to 8192×4320 pixels.

Q2: What's the difference between H.265 and the previous standard H.264?
H.264 has been a huge success. It's a flexible codec standard that's used by streaming services, satellite providers, and for Blu-ray discs. It's scaled remarkably well since it was first proposed and is capable of handling 3D, 48-60 fps encodes, and even 4K. The Blu-ray disc standard doesn't currently include provisions for some of these technologies, but the H.264 codec itself is capable of handling them.

However, while it can handle these types of encodes, it can't do so while simultaneously keeping file sizes low. A new standard is necessary to push file/stream sizes back down while driving next-generation adoption, and that's where H.265 comes in. It's designed to utilize substantially less bandwidth thanks to advanced encoding techniques and a more sophisticated encode/decode model.

Q3: How to encode/decode H.265/HEVC to MKV, MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV on Mac Yosemite?

If you are looking for a wise solution about how to import XAVC MXF to FCP 7 for editing, you may have interests about this article. Here is how.



Several questions are found in XAVC MXF to FCP forum:
"I am working with a new Sony FS7 video camera that records in XAVC codec as .mxf files - Same as the F5 or F55. I have installed the new ProApps update that is supposed to make it easy to use XAVC in Final Cut 7 which I still use and have also updated Quicktime 7. However neither Quicktime 7 nor FCP 7 will open the .mxf files. I have spent time on the FS7 discussion boards and no one can figure out why. Others are also having the same problem though."

As we all know, playing and editing .mxf footage on Mac is a big problem. The users may be not so familiar with the MXF video format. And they are told that FCP 7/X can support and edit MXF videos perfectly. But things are not so simple. Owing to video codec, computer configuration and operating environment, it is difficult for FCP to recognize XAVC MXF videos. Even though the users can import the XAVC MXF videos to FCP 7/X, some video and audio problems will occur as the above users met.
