How To Play avi Video Files On Any Roku Player FREE!

Can my Roku player play .avi video files?

The answer is no… but there is a very easy and free workaround!

Unfortunately, Google is not of very much help on this one. The first result is an overpriced video converter. Don’t fall for it!

Do I need to convert my video files from .avi to mp4?

Yes and no. All you have to do is change the container (mux) the file from .avi to mp4! This takes only a few seconds and you don’t have to go through the lengthy conversion process that can take up to an hour for a feature length movie.

Enough already, how do I get this done!

Download and install MP4Box

Here’s the link: https://gpac.wp.mines-telecom.fr/mp4box/

If the link is broken just search Google for it.

Then download and install My MP4Box GUI

Once your system is ready to get the job done:

The status bar at the bottom which used to read Ready will do its thing and voila!

You will find a mp4 version of your avi file in the same directory!

Load the mp4 into a USB flash drive and head over to your Roku.

NOTE: Make sure your Roku has the free Roku media player channel on it.
