Any help having thumbnails for ripped DVD's into Apple TV
I am an Apple TV user and am wondering if anyone has figured out how to get ripped DVD thumbnails into the Apple TV menu. Thanks.

Not an HB issue...since I'm being nice, try MetaX

Again not a handbrake issue...but if you use iTunes or MetaX simply drop the art in there. The problem will you'll have is that the art is embedded in the file, and the sync process (if you are having the file transfered to the ATV hard drive) from iTunes to the appleTv doesn't get triggered on a change (ie. it doesn't resend the file because you made some change) - you'll have to pull the existing file down and then have the entire file resent to the ATV. Simple as marking the file to not be sent, sync your ATV (the file gets removed), make sure your file has all the updates (artwork and tags), mark it to be synced, and do the sync again.
PITA...but easy to do.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the insight. I'm pretty new to this stuff. So do I need to rip my file as .mv4 instead of .mp4 or does it matter?

I am totally new to both Apple TV and HB so sorry if this is obvious. I would love to have chapters so from reading this I assume I need to use .mv4?
