TS3297 no sound when viewing HD movie from iTunes via Apple TV?

Recently added AppleTV to the home theater (via HDML).  Downloaded HD movie from iTunes, but there's no sound.  Pretty picture, just no sound.  Other AppleTV functions have sound (movie previews, Hulu), and viewing photos and listening to songs from MacBook work fine.  Any suggestions?

I turned off "Dolby Digital" - now it´s working!

  • Distortion with sound when viewing burned movie from idvd

    I created a movie in iMovie that included tracks from iTunes and exported it to create the dvd in iDVD.
    When viewing it in iMovie, it sounds great.
    When I exported and viewed the movie in iDVD, it sounds great.
    But after I burn the dvd and view it on any of my tv's, the sound is distorted. I've tried playing the settings in iMovie changing the track volume to a lower setting but that isn't helping.
    Can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem. Some of the music in my movie was distorted playing on my TV. Burning the dvd in disk utility did not make a difference, but the file was 3 times larger. Anyway while trouble-shooting I found that it played much better through the HDMI cable as opposed to the component cables. It also played ok on my older TV through the AV cables. So it is either my component out jacks on my dvd player or my component cable. I have noticed other dvd's that I made from my Imac do play very loud on all my TV's.

  • TS3623 When I play movies from Netflix via AppleTV, the picture is very bad quality (looks like the first color movies from 1960).

    When I play movies from Netflix via Apple TV, the picture quality is like a color movie from 1960. When I play Netflix on the computer or Iphone, I have no quality problem. Also, the movie plays for 4 minutes, then freezes and download for another 5 minutes before continuing. The signal strenght on Apple TV show 3 boxes out of five. I have the Apple TV set up about 30 feet from my Airport, separated with drywall walls and on hardwood floor. I tried to find the answer of my problem on the Apple troubleshooting site without success. Finally, I am trying to download an updated software for my Apple TV and Apple TV tells me there 4 hours left to the download; is that normal?

    I did the SPEEDTEST, and my download is 25Mbs. My connection should not be the problem. I use Shaw cable with HIGH SPEED INTERNET. If I watch it on my computer or Iphone, the picture quality is excellent. The problem is the communication between my Airport and my Apple TV. At the store, the guaranteed me there would be no problem anywhere in the house. As I mentionned earlier, the signal has to travel between walls and floor. I get only 3 boxes out of five for signal strenght. I moved my AppleTV 3 feet from my Airport and I donèt have anymore problems; image quality or download speed. But of course, I do not want my AppleTV beside my computer. The reason I bought it is to be able to watch Netflix and my computer content on my TV in the family room. That was the whole purpose, but the AppleTV does not work well at that distance. I may as well bring it back to the store and continue to rent BD dvds.

  • When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    When I purchase movies from Itunes I am unable to view them. But when I rent a movie it is viewable. Why is this?

    Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
    1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure.  This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
    2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have  to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
    3.  Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying. 
    OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
    Maybe I should think about a new computer.

    yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.

    this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem.

  • Why does my sound when watching a movie in itunes fall behind?

    Im running Windows 7 64bit and when I watch movies in iTunes, the sound starts running slow.  It gets so bad that it starts cutting out.  If I pause it and hit play again, it goes right for a minute and then starts over again.  Thoughts?

  • Have iPod Touch and want to view rented movies from iTunes on our TV

    We have an iPod Touch. I rented movies from iTunes. We would like to connect the iPod to the television so the whole family can watch at the same time. We did a little research and was told to buy a "Eforcity Premium Retractable Apple iPod AV Composite Cable, White [Compatible with: iPod with Color Display / including iPod Photo / iPod Video (including U2 Special Editions of iPod Photo &Video)]" which we did. In our research it said in the instructions it said to access the "TV Out Video Setting". My husband can't find it and hence is unable to get it to work. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

    I don't think that cable is compatible with the iPhone or the iPod touch. I know the old Apple AV cable wont work with the iPod touch, you need either a Apple Composite AV Cable or an Apple Component AV Cable. See here for more info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?locale=en_US.

  • I rented and downloaded two movies from iTunes via my iPad. They show up as purchased in items but won't play. They do not show up in iPad visor app at all. Any ideas on what happened and how to fix are welcome. Thanks

    I rented two movies from iTunes using my iPad. They show us as purchased but will not run from there. I get a message saying I have 24hours to watch then it just goes back to iTunes. I looked in video app where they usually go and nothing is there. Any ideas for a fix are welcome?
    Thanks

    You did try tapping on one of them in that list in the iPod app! This has happened to me and I was able to start the movie from there. You could try restarting the iPad, go into the iPod app and try again.
    Now I'm stumped unless it is a corrupt download. You did download right onto the iPad - correct? If you downloaded in iTunes, there is a Move tab or function that you have to select to transfer the movies to the iPad when you sync. They just don't sync over without selecting move.

  • Streaming HD movies from Itunes to Apple TV 2

    Hello all,
    I am having an issue streaming HD (m4v) movies from iTunes to my Apple TV 2. First off, I am able to stream Netflix flawlessly using my Apple TV. The HD Movies from ITunes glitches\lags every 20-25 seconds. Here is my setup.
    Router: Apple Airport Extreme, using 5ghz band
    Laptop: Macbook Pro
    Any suggestions? I have tried turning off Dolby Digital in the Apple TV Settings, but did not help.
    Thanks,
    Dustin

    I was having the same error. I switched Audio Language to default and Dolby Digital to 'on' and I finally can see the video, but with no sound...
    I tried MKVTools and Handbrake, AC3 passthru for audio on both, iTunes plays nice, but Apple TV doesn't. Any other solution?

  • Cannot stream movies from itunes to apple tv 1st generation

    Hi,
    I have an apple tv 1st generation and whenever I'm renting movies I would like to play them via streaming on my TV. Unfortunately I have to wait until it's fully downloaded and then I have to transfer them to the Apple tv.
    Can someone tell me if there is a way to be able to stream rented movies from Itunes to the apple TV without having to wait until it's fully downloaded?
    I'm using a macbook pro with mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Any help would be so much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If you rent via your Mac then you have to wait until it's full loaded. If you would like to stream then rent directly on the Apple TV
