Thanks ragboy! Played the THX_DDWAV.mov file on my ATV. Sounds excellent! Also, great to finally see (hear) that DD actually works with my ATV/Receiver combo! It certainly gives me hope :)

I was able to convert the video using quicktime's export to apple TV setting. It will now sync and play on my atv, however the dl2 file gives me the same signal for both of the rear channels. It could be that my receiver does not handle dl2 even though it does dl1, dts, and dd5.1. I'm checking the m...

Hi maurj, I gave your dp2 and dp1 files a try and they would not sync with my Apple TV either. They would also not sync. I get an error in iTunes that states "5_1_DOLBY_dp1_192kps was not copied because the video format is not supported by the Apple TV". They do play in iTunes on my G5 how...

Good Thread. This is on my mind as well. Right now I've only ripped a few and they're sitting on my G5 in my living room. My plan is to definatley stream, however I do notice that my G5's hard drive is really rev'd up to provide the stream. Durring quiet passages in the movies it is a bit annoying, ...

Yep, it plays both DTS and AC-3. I've got a few DTS DVDs that play fine through my receiver. Humm...I wonder what the difference is in our setup. I downloaded the clip called dts_diatonis_io_afos. which one did you try?

"Ten Myths" article

I downloaded the dts sample provided as a link in that article and played it through my atv which is attached via optical to my DTS capable receiver. No Joy :( I'm not sure I buy every thing this guy has said, but he does make a good argument for the possible reasons Apple has stuck with DPL for now...

oceans 13 5.1 experiment

I'm curious if one of you guys downloaded an HD trailer from Apple's website that had 5.1 audio (for example oceans 13) and tried playing it on the ?TV if that would play in 5.1. I have messed with a bunch of them at my local Apple store but I couldn't find any clues about its 5.1 support. I must sa...
