Not a real video nerd, so I'm hoping to find some here btw, MEDIA FORK ROCKS!
Anyway, I'm wondering what the best res to rip my 16:9 DVDs is. it shows source res as 720, or 700 pixels wide, and I've tried ripping some sutff under that larger resolution. It transfers OK to my 5G 80GB ipod, and so
I'm wondering if I should rip everything in this native 720 x 4XX res rather than what I was planning on, 640 x 3XX. Do we know if apple TV will support this higher resolution? Is this res even noticiebly any better?
Optimal Resolution for Apple TV??

Re: Optimal Resolution for Apple TV??
Just *don't* turn on Anamorphic, and you'll be set. You want a width of 720, but *not* a height of 480. Height should be, like, 404 or lower.joeyc923 wrote: Anyway, I'm wondering what the best res to rip my 16:9 DVDs is. it shows source res as 720, or 700 pixels wide, and I've tried ripping some sutff under that larger resolution.

So, pretty much the default dimensions MediaFork will give you.
After dynaflash gets his pre-ordered Apple TV, we'll be able to put together a new setting intended just for it, but Main profile x264 should play fine. The only caveat is, we can't be entirely sure Apple won't require some magic words hidden in the file to load it onto the AppleTV. I expect supporting it will be easy (I hope I don't regret those words) and that, most likely, it will play any MPEG-4 file QuickTime can play by default.
