Re: Re: Apple TV - Video Formats

[Wayne <Wayne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I must admit - I've been using handbreak with the 'normal' settings.
Dont notice any difference really! (maybe the file size of the convert is a
little bigger)

One thing I have noticed though, if you use HB to rip a disney movie - it
can sometimes pick the wrong 'title'. Disney seem to bung 99 titles on a
disk, which if you add the numbers up are way bigger than a dvd can hold!
If you use the mac DVD player program to navigate the menus and get to the
actial film, then you can see what 'title' should be ripped.

Other than that - HB gets a vote for me too! - its a pity it cant do
BlueRay!
