@WOX, that's not an easy question to answer.  The file extension doesn't necessarily mean anything - it's what's in the file that matters.  There's no easy way to get that information other than using another media player on a computer that can give the video's properties or a utility like MediaInfo.  Roku devices support a limited number of codecs.  You can see the list here:
