kind of movies

[Janak Shah]

I've now setup mymedia on my roku. I am not able to play any
downloaded movies (e.g. DIVX).
Wondering what type of videos does it recognize?

I didn't find that github wiki page when I was figuring out how to
encode for Roku. That would have made things much easier lol.

I'm attaching the handbrake preset that I use now. I have found that
videos encoded with this preset play consistently on both RokuHD and
Xbox360 and meet or exceed my expectations for quality. I have a
really tiny 720p tv though, so YMMV. File size comes out to about 1
gigabyte per hour of video.
