Re: Encoded movie isn't readable by AppleTV

I have no idea why it does it, but certain movies seem prone to it. Several people have told me that The Thomas Crown Affair does it. And it also happens to be one of my own problem children. Just changing the frame rate away from "dame as source" to the desired frame rate seems to do the...

Re: Encoded movie isn't readable by AppleTV

Can you play it in quicktime, activate the movie inspector, and tell me what the resultant frames-per-second are? Aha, you might have found something here!

Ok, I'll try out the following and post the results: - Re-sample the AC3 track to a lower bitrate and re-e...

Encoded movie isn't readable by AppleTV

Hi All, I've spent the last few days trying to figure out why a movie I'm encoding with HB can't be read by my AppleTV. It's AVP (Alien vs. Predator) and I've prepared the source file as follows: 1) Copied my BD to the HDD using AnyDVD 2) Split the Audio & Video tracks using Eac3to (Video is MPE...
