New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
Quick question: Will a video converted with the new Apple TV 2 preset work flawlessly on an older Apple TV?
Re: New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
No. It likely won't play at all (crash).
Re: New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
But the opposite situation would be fine—videos encoded for the ATV1 will play flawlessly on the ATV2.

I see. Has the Apple TV (1) preset then been updated in anyway in this new version of Handbrake?
Re: New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
Only insomuch as to counteract changes in the libx264 defaults that would break compatibility. Otherwise it's the same preset as 0.9.4...

Re: New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
That's completely unrelated. The AppleTV Legacy preset has nothing to do with 0.9.4's AppleTV preset.discless wrote:See also this topic discussion:jnyberg wrote:I see. Has the Apple TV (1) preset then been updated in anyway in this new version of Handbrake?

Re: New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
I understand that the ATV2 preset will generate video which is unplayable on a 1st gen ATV (and I've confirmed it, repeatedly). However, am I correct that going the other way should present no problems (i.e., playing on the ATV2 video handbraked using the 1st gen preset)? I ask this because I've now had three instances of 1st gen encoded video crashing XBMC on my ATV2. I I imagine that this might be related to the relative instability of XBMC running on a jailbroken ATV2 (even w XBMC 10.1), but I wanted to see if there are users who've had success in playing ATV1 encodes on ATV2?
thanks.
thanks.
Re: New AppleTV 2 preset for AppleTV 1
Videos encoded with the AppleTV preset should play on a stock AppleTV 2. The crash you're experiencing is most likely an XBMC crash (can easily be tested by playing the file on a non-jailbroken AppleTV 2).
