HandBrake

Hi I am using Handbrake 0.9.5 successfully with the 'Apple TV2' preset. However I noticed today that this preset is setting the Framerate to 29.97 NTSC. The 'Normal' preset follows the original disc. As I am based in the UK should I amend the preset to PAL? PAL also seems to have a higher vertical ...

The source is pretty bad on the Friends DVDs. They might also be interlaced...

Did the old Apple TV upscale SD 480p to 720p?

Smart move on Apple's behalf...

Surround started working now, very odd. And i might have been too quick to judge on the video quality because i connected the old AppleTV and it does in fact seem very similar. I must have become spoilt with Blu-Ray, that's the only possible reason =) PS. How come none of the trailers have surround ...

Is it just me or does the video quality actually look worse on the new AppleTV I've got a 1080p Sony 40" LCD TV and with Apple TV 1 even regular DVD rips looked fine. Now on the new Apple TV they look like [Censored]. And surround sound doesn't work anymore. Is the video quality issue because o...

a AppleTV/iPhone 4/iPad/iPod Touch (4G) preset would be awesome!

High quality 720p on all devices

Finally 30fps support for 720p "H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats" http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html Now i can finally start thinking about conver...

Ok, thanks very much!

I'm in the process of encoding around 500 DVDs (haven't started encoding them yet, still ripping the DVDs to the comp) so I obviously want to create both efficient, high quality and somewhat future proof rips. My target devices for the encodes are: iPad, iPhone 3G S, PS3 and AppleTV (might get rid o...

iPhone 3G S (but yeah, I'll start a new topic)

Thanks, one question though:

Why do you recommend Normal and High Profile over AppleTV and Universal?

Thanks for the help everyone! Will try a couple of the alternatives to see which works best

Is it possible to get subtitles on AppleTV from a movie ripped from a DVD?

I've been reading several posts on this forum and it seems that it isn't because AppleTV doesn't support the mkv format. Is this correct?

Thanks for any help!

I had the same problem, but then i noticed that i had installed the 64bit version of VLC player. Deleted that and installed the 32bit version and all is tickety boo

AppleTV 2.2: "The update also adds chapter selection, alternate audio and subtitles - again, press and hold Play/Pause to access these options." Has anyone managed to add multiple or soft subtitles to a m4v or mp4 file yet? This feature would be awesome for foreign films... or even for Bri...

I got the same thing as well when encoding March of the Penguins. A really loud noise for a fraction of a second at the start of the movie

Thanks for the help! Basically i watch all movies on the ATV, but now that there is the Universal preset (encoding with similar quality as the ATV preset) i feel that it is the most future proof choice, as it ensures compatibility with my iphone as well. PS. Am i correct in assuming that the sole pu...

I've tried searching the forums if there is a visible difference in quality (video/audio) in the new Universal Preset and the Apple TV preset (or even the Legacy AppleTV preset), but haven't really found anything conclusive. Some background: I used to rip all movies that had no letterboxing at aroun...

AppleTV 2.2: "Chapter selection, alternate audio and subtitles: While playing a movie, press and hold Play/Pause to access chapter selection, alternate audio and subtitle display. The display shows the options available for the current movie." AppleTV just keeps getting better and better A...

Keep up the good work guys. All the hard work that goes into creating and further improving this app is very much appreciated!

PS. Can't wait to see what happens when you guys decide to release Handbrake 1.0

Thanks for the fast reply Rodney! Yeah, i'm gonna do some experimenting with different settings and try to find a good setting for viewing both on AppleTV and the Touch. Size won't matter as long as the files aren't over 3gb. As someone already said hope Apple will come out with a 32gb iPhone in the...

Is there a way i can modify the current AppleTV setting and get the video to play on my Touch? I tried nightstrm's setting (Advanced: cabac=0:ref=2:analyse=all:me=umh:subq=6:no-fast-pskip=1:trellis=1:mixed-refs=1:merange=32:level=30) and it worked on the Touch (bitrate at about 2500 and anamorphic)....

Here is the preset I have been using to generate encodes that are compatible with both the AppleTV and the iPhone, while taking advantage of the new features in .9.2 (including AAC+AC3, improved anamorphic support, and VFR to name a few). Using these settings, I have yet to come across an encode th...
