Ah, gotcha. Thank you so much for the responses. I could not figure out: " MP4Box GUI and just remux it to an .mp4" Every time I loaded an .mkv file into it, I couldn't get the program to do anything. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Anyways, at least I know that I'm not wasting a bunch of time converting. Are you aware of a good DVD ripper that rips straight to .mp4?MakeMKV is a ripper, not a converter.......
HA! I just figured out what's happening. You are ripping DVDs. DVDs use an MPEG-2 codec for the video stream and is unsupported by Roku. That is different than Blu-rays that use h264 or VC-1. It has nothing to do with .mp4 or .mkv, although an MPEG-2 stream is technically incompatible with .mp4 containers.
Anyway, if you want to play these back on a Roku without transcoding, you will have to convert them to something with a compatible video codec (h264 or h265). Just about any HTPC would be able to play them back, though.
Depends on how big your job is going to be and if you are willing to spend a little money for convenience. I can see a few different ways to attack this.Ah, gotcha.
