4K Videos to Roku 4- Play All 4K files on Roku 4 with MKV/MP4 format

Roku is taking a lead on 4K, making ultra-high definition support the defining feature of its new Roku 4 set-top box. Someone's got to be first, and while there isn't much 4K content around yet, Roku is helping TV-lovers find and stream it. How to play H.265/HEVC 4K content on Roku 4 when the newest Roku 4 won't support all 4K streaming? If you also have the intention to play H.265/HEVC on Roku 4, read on to get the solution.

At first, Roku 4 users need to know: 

Using the Roku 4 doesn’t require a UHD TV, and there's a lot to like about it even with an HD set (which is how we tested it). The box has a quad-core processor and triple the RAM of the Roku 4, and performed perfectly in our testing. Combining its hardware with the existing quick-start feature for Netflix and Amazon meant we never had to wait more than a few seconds for content. The Roku 4 includes 802.11ac MIMO Wi-Fi, which is helpful for 4K streaming because it has strong throughput. Viewing 4K video requires an HDCP 2.2 HDMI port. The set-top box also includes optical digital audio for the first time, (something we weren't able to test) and upscales SD video to 720p.

As far as we know, Roku supported media file formats are restricted to MKV (H.264), MP4 (H.264). H.265/HEVC 4K movie is not included here. So, how to prepare your H.265 videos for playback on Roku 4? Luckily, there's a workaround that can make your movies playable on Roku 4 - Encode H.265/HEVC to H.264 MP4 videos for Roku 4. 

To get it done, all you need is a reliable H.265 converter. Just like the way it is dealing with 1080p HD and 4K videos, the upgraded Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate is surely in the support of converting 4K H.265 Video in any format sand creating H.265/HEVC MP4 video faultlessly. (Here isreview)

It provides three new output format presets for H.264, and one for H.265 in Common Video Option for better playback.
