Anyone know if there's a big difference between Handbrake for Win and OSX?
The interface is different, same core.

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.
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?
