Tutorial: AppleTV DVD & Video Rendering Workflow & Settings

What's up, peeps!
In this video screencast tutorial I show what tools I use to encode my video files and DVD's into Apple TV format compatible files that play on the Apple TV seamlessly.
The two apps that I use in this tutorial are Turbo.264 HD that comes with the hardware. MSRP is roughly $150, and it is Mac only. The second was HandBrake. It is FREE and available for both PC and Mac.

Hmm , dunno what happened to my comment but it too bad that the new version of Handbrake excluded the PS3 preset.

[DizzyDougTV]

I dunno either, bro. Any hoot...I can make you a preset for the PS3 and e-mail it to ya :)

Thanks for the great tips and tricks =).

I just wanted to ask you what mac you think would be best just to simply use for app making.

[DizzyDougTV]

You're welcome.

Any Intel based Mac should be sufficient for programming on the Mac platform.

[TheAppleJunkies101]

Yeah that would be awesomeness Thanks. I wish I would've wrote that preset down. I really dunno why they would do that. You da man!!!!

[DizzyDougTV]

Thanks, Gordy! You're right. We may find ourselves re-encoding content in the future.

Very good Doug, I'm getting loads of this done now thanks to your help. You know whats going to happen, Apple will release a 1080p higher bitrate apple TV unit and we'll all be re-encoding everything!

It has a 160GB internal HDD. But personally, I don't store any content on it. I stream all of it, and I keep it as I said in this video on my NAS.
