Apple TV 3 Vs. High Profile Presets (Apple TV)

Post by aw1298 »

Hey Guys,
First, I am a novice with encoding and handbrake. I know the basics but I still use the presets because I don't want to screw up my final product. I am streaming to an Apple TV 3 1080p. When I am encoding a bluray or quality very close to a Bluray I recently starting using "High Profile" instead of "Apple TV 3" preset.

I recently noticed there are bars on my movie when I stream it. I assume this is do the aspect settings in the "High Profile" Preset. My question is, is the quality of the movie output while using "High Profile" a lot better than the "Apple TV 3" preset? Time is not an issue, I just want the best quality. The bars are annoying, however if I am loosing a lot of quality using "Apple TV 3", I can put up with the bars. Suggestions?

Thanks!!
