![]() This covers me for both digital surround and regular two channel audio, which ensures compatibility with other devices like the iPad (MKV not compatible with Apple devices.) It should be noted that you can only get digital audio out of the Roku with via HDMI (or optical cable if you have a Roku 1) and your Roku must be set to Digital 5.1 audio mode (surround sound) in the device settings (failure to do so, can give you the “unsupported codec” error message). I set the first track to AAC analog and the second track to digital passthru. I use two audio tracks on my video encodes. Moving to the right will increase file size but also retain more video quality. Moving the slider to the left will give you a smaller file size, but it will degrade video quality. You can play with the RF slider to find your own preference. Most of my videos come in around the 1 to 1.5 gig range. I find RF settings between 20 and 18 work well for DVD encoding and generally keep the video file size under 2 gigs. ![]() I use RF:19 for DVD as a starting point for my encodes. You can use Same as source if you would rather not worry about finding your FPS. Use MediaInfo to find the FPS of your source video so you can select the correct FPS for Handbrake. This will also help with buffering issues on the Roku 1 and other devices. I recommend manually setting your FPS to ensure audio and video stay in sync on your digital files. I leave it unchecked, but it could be useful if you are encoding black and white source material. If you know your video is progressive and not interlaced, you can select Off. This will add a little bit of time to your encode, but it will keep your video looking normal. Video Filters Tab – screen grab: MP4 | MKVįast. The Strict setting may cause some issues on Roku 1 boxes or CRT (tube) tv’s, so I recommend creating a 30 second test clip to make sure the picture is looks fine. The None setting will crop your movie accordingly and I believe it works best when encoding fullscreen DVD’s. I believe it’s important to preserve as much quality as possible when watching 480p on a HDTV. Strict preserves the anamorphic aspect ratio of widescreen DVD’s, which gives you an extra 20% of your movie to work with. I recommend using the Strict setting on widescreen DVD’s. This will automatically set the height of your video to the correct dimensions for your TV screen. ![]() Picture Tab – screen grab: MP4 | MKVĬheck the Keep Aspect Ratio box. If using MP4, put a check in the web optimized box (Not used with MKV.) Now, set your tabs to settings below. Select MP4 if you want a video file that is compatible with Roku, Apple and many other devices. First select the High Profile preset and then select your container. ![]()
