Good point. I'd almost forgotten about that. Quite a few are VC-1, and there are even some in MPEG-2.

Sounds like I stick with transcoding! Thanks for the answers everyone...

Is there a way to use Handbrake to process an full quality MKV file so that the video stream is not transcoded but the audio is processed appropriately for the ATV3 and the file ends up in a mv4 container so the ATV3 can play it. I realize it will be essentially the same size as the raw BluRay rip b...

I tried setting weightp to 0 and also disabling b-pyramid but the Apple TV2 still has video artifacts. Setting weightp=0 did remove the artifacts from windows media player though. I'm starting to think that Apple may have some bugs in the intial firmware release for the TV2. If anyone else is using ...

Okay, here is the full activity log for my encoding of the Star Trek DVD. Again, I followed Mdeull's instructions I think. The resulting file looks great in iTunes and on the iPad but has terrible video artifacts on both the TV 2 and in Windows Media Player. Thanks again for any pointers! # Windows ...

Never mind that log. I'm encoding now and will send the completed log after that. I'm a noob here in case you couldn't tell

kjoe, it would be helpful if you could post an activity log so that we can see exactly what settings and type of source material causes this. Sorry about that - I'll post it inline here. I grabbed the nightly build earlier today as the log shows... Thanks for any help! # Windows GUI svn3596 2010101...

Hey Folks, I followed Mduell's instructions to the letter from the first post in this thread on the Star TreK DVD. I used RF=19 and everything else was as Mduell's proscribed. This results in a ~1.8 GB file that plays fine on the iPad and fine in iTunes (Windows 7 PC). But on the Apple TV2 is has hu...

Okay, so if I understand - all other settings being equal a DVD encoded to 480P (DVD resolution) would be roughly the same size as one encoded to 576P (resolution needed for full width display on the iPad? It sounds like the resolution in this case is just some kind of header data that specifies the...

jbrbreak, Thanks for the tips. One question: For DVD encoding is there any quality advantage to choosing a resolution above 480P, the native resolution of DVD's? It seems like from a file size perspective this would be the way to go. Then you let the iPad scale the video so that it fits the full 102...
