How to cast my AI CIB videos to my Roku
In today's digital age, many people prefer to watch high-quality videos through streaming devices such as Roku. If you have some AI CIB (assuming video of a specific format or source) video and want to get it onto your Roku, you might run into some challenges. This article will detail how to convert AI CIB videos into Roku-compatible formats, and how to cast these videos to Roku devices.
First, you need to make sure your AI CIB video files are compatible with Roku. Roku supports a variety of video formats, such as MP4, AVI, MKV, etc., but may not directly support some special formats. Therefore, the first step is to convert AI CIB videos to Roku supported formats. You can use HandBrake, a free and open source software, to accomplish this task.
