Works perfectly.

Re: http://www.ffmpegx.com
The last update on this was 2011. I doubt it is 64bit and thereby incompatible with the upcoming macOS Catalina 10.15

My intended viewing is via iTunes/Apple TV I'm looking for a macOS app with this function: 1. open mkv 2. uncheck unwanted audio tracks 3. select m4v as output 4. convert (just a simple convert, with no transcoding, thereby avoiding quality loss) Any thoughts on this on this workflow? http://www.ffm...

Thank you Ted. It seems logical now you put it all together. I hope this is helpful to others. I'll test this out on an Apple TV very soon and get back here should I have more questions.. I'll give the nightly build a shot. Thank you

And thank you Ted that answered my question in concept. If you don't mind elaborate at your convenience.

My mistake. What I meant to say is that every time when using Handbrake with the AppleTV2 setting get something that is not (1280 by 720) or some close variation of that. (I understand movies are shot in different aspect ratios) ALSO I notice that I ripped a black and white movie from the 1950's and...

Re: My question - And why is the resulting file dimension 841x264 instead of the full Pad2 OR AppleTV2 (1024 by 768) vs (1280 by 720) respectively? That's just what Handbrake does at the AppleTV2 preset. Every time all the time. No customizations. The question is why? Need someone who fully understa...

Ted, 1. The preset for AppleTV2 is 29.97fps. Why not use the native setting of 23.976 (film NTSC) or 24fps? 2. And why is the resulting file dimension 841x264 instead of the full Pad2 OR AppleTV2 (1024 by 768) vs (1280 by 720) respectively? I understand file size can be inconvenient especially if I ...

Thank you Ted. And I am assuming that I should use the AppleTV setting even if I am directly connecting the iPad to the plasma screen via the Apple HDMI to Dock Connector?

iPad 2 to Plasma via HDMI to Dock Connector adapter OR iPad 2 to Plasma via Airplay to AppleTV2 1. I am looking for the best settings to watch on my iPad2 AND stream movies from my iPad2 to a plasma via the two options above. 2. I understand the resolutions are different for the iPad2 and AppleTV2 (...
