ATV not syncing or playing a movie - help

I have just one movie in my collection that is giving me an issue. I encoded long ago, but never really noticed that it would not sync. I ran it threw 0.9.5 on the ATV preset with the default setting and RF20. It still won't play. Can anyone tell me why? I believe it was originally a 720p source tha...

Re: m4v to bluray player

Also, how about PS3? Will it play the old ATV1 preset m4v?

m4v to bluray player

Now that I have my entire library of movies in m4v format with preset adjustments for the ATV1.... I would like to access my library held on a readynas from the bedroom. I also need a new DVD/BD player. Is there a Bluray player that can also play my m4v files? If so, what model have you found to be ...

Re: HandBrake 0.9.5 Discussion Thread

I encoded a movie with the new ATV setting (not ATV2) for my old ATV. Everything looked normal, but when I started the movie it played audio for about 1 second then froze. I rebooted my ATV and the same thing happened, but it also caused the ATV to reboot automatically. The only addition I made to t...

Re: AppleTV Custom Presets - 0.9.4

I re-encoded with the snapshot at the defaults and 1280. The picture came out very good with no stutter.
Thanks for the help.

Re: AppleTV Custom Presets - 0.9.4

What if you use the AppleTV preset (from the latest snapshot) and simply bump the horizontal resolution to 1280? While I don't have this specific source, I have had zero problems with my Bluray/HDDVD encodes streaming to either of my AppleTVs using these settings. Ya, tried this last night. I haven...

Re: AppleTV Custom Presets - 0.9.4

I tried Sherlock again with the same custom settings and an RF of 21 and still got a choppy image - especially when the camera pans. At this point the image looks comparable to the ATV settings at 540p, so I think I will stick to that until Apple comes out with a new ATV. I think we've reached the e...

Re: AppleTV Custom Presets - 0.9.4

Hello all, I'm new to blu-ray encodes and advanced strings, but I tried to encode Sherlock over the weekend at 720p with Dynaflash's custom settings and added a vbv buffer and cap. The encode came out a bit choppy on the ATV especially when lots of information was on the screen - like the fight scen...

Re: Bad picture quality encode on ATV with new Harry Potter

No, I'm definetly seeing the same compression issues on both the iMac and plasma - much more so than any other encode I have done.

Re: Bad picture quality encode on ATV with new Harry Potter

I re-encoded at 75%, RF=12.75 - the results seem to be about the same; although the file size jumped to 3.46 GB. Maybe the original was a bit crumby to begin with and the conversion is just showing the flaws more? Here is a screen capture from iTunes in actual size. Things look much worse blown up. ...

Re: Bad picture quality encode on ATV with new Harry Potter

My redo came out the same. I will try to boost the RF tonight and see if the results change. I would post a screenshot if I had an online setup.

Yes, definitely the one I watched. It even looks poor watching back on my mac in itunes.
I will try to redo tonight and see if I get any different results.

I ripped the DVD to my Mac with DVD Shrink (without the shrink) using Parallels as an ISO. AnyDVD for Copy Protection.

Bad picture quality encode on ATV with new Harry Potter

I used the new ATV preset on HB 0.9.4 and put the Constant Quality setting at 70.10% (or 15.25 RF) and the movie went from 6.75GB in ISO to 2.22GB in M4V... and the picture is horrible. I usually notice anywhere from a 20 to 40 percent decrease in file size, but almost 70% seems drastic. Very blocky...

How about time differences - quicker from either, or both the same?

Has anyone noticed quality or time differences when encoding from a Video_TS source versus a .ISO file?

Exact Backup of DVD

I know everyone has a different view of what DVD backup setting they like... My question is; what would be an exact copy of the information - bit for bit - on a DVD if merely converting from MPEG2 to MPEG4? In other words - forget about time and file size... what would the settings be to get as clos...
