ATV not syncing or playing a movie - help

Post by x166532x »

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 that an older build of Handbrake downsized to 960 wide.

Thanks in advance!

The Apple TV can only handle up to 30fps movies. Yours is 40. Select 29.97 as your frame rate in HandBrake and also select "Peak Frame Rate".

Thank you - worked great. I don't know where the 40 frames came from.
