| Best Handbrake Settings for AppleTV I'm wanting to rip all my DVD's so that I can watch them on my AppleTV but I'm wondering what the best settings are for Handbrake in which to do this?

| Select the same as iPod TV size, i.e 640px wide. Since DVDs aren't much higher in resolution and you rather want to scale _down_ than up (plus 640px go well with 1280px wide HDTVs), that resolution makes sense and works for both AppleTV and video iPods.

| Ah ha! that works great! Very clear, and about 2gb per movie. I'm using that from now on.

| What's the resolution of that preset? And do such movies still play on iPods? (I *REALLY* don't want to rip my movies twice...) Oh, I just got an AppleTV, btw., after saying that I would never get one for so long... Such is life. I admit I was wrong. It's a nice little device.

| I found a sweet spot for appletv, ipod and iphone video rips by using the Appletv setting and changing it to 2-pass. It takes twice as long, but the image is much brighter and the resulting file works on all 3 medium (as well as on my mac via itunes or quick time The newest version has a better Queue that i can set to rip a TV show disk and do it overnight sweet cheers |

| hmm, that brings up a question for me, should I use the apple TV encoding or stay with doing MP4?
