I just ripped a couple of DVDs using the latest version of Handbrake on a Mac, and saved them to MP4 format. When I copy them over to my MyBookLive shared videos, they don’t show up. I’m using Roku Media Player as the viewing client.
I have other MP4 files there, and they work fine. However, those I did not personally rip using the method above.
The only difference I can see between the working and non-working/appearing MP4 files, is that the new videos I just created seem to have been created with MPEG-4 version 2, while the others are version 1. Other than that, I see no difference.
Here is the output from MediaInfo for both files.
First the working/good video:

Any thoughts? Is it that the DLNA server doesn’t support MPEG-4 version 2? Or is it something else?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
