Using Apple TV for watching HD videos created in HD iMovie
The main reason I am thinking about getting ATV is to watch HD home videos I have edited on iMovie on my HDTV. Has anybody actualy done this? Does the quality remain high after exporting to Apple TV.
What software are you using for the conversion -- QT? As
far as I know, it still employs a simply "drop/add"
algorithm for changing frame rates. Have you tried
dropping your iMovie (or other) project file to MPEG
Streamclip and using the "blend frames" option along
with the motion-adaptive deinterlacer to see it it
might "smooth" things out a bit? Not saying this
approach is perfect or that quality is up to
professional/commercial standards, but it didn't seem
all that bad to me. Just wish I had some better test
footage. (Hoping to get some now that spring is
here.)
I've tried it all . Started with QT, gave VisualHub a run through and then tried Streamclip. I will say that of the three solutions, Streamclip gave me the best results but the framerate still stuttered quite a bit.
I'm still holding out hope that perhaps Apple will at least allow a 30fps option at 1280.. I think it'll help out many podcasters like Rocketboom too.

Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?
HI GalaxieMusique,
I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess.... -
I have been using apple tv for 2+ years and i just purchased several new shows that began in Sept 2013. In the past, episodes I have not yet watched were marked with a green dot, but now that dot is not there.
Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
I am having strange issue with my apple tv...i set up pictures to scroll through to the tv using home sharing. Now album covers are interspersed with my pictures. I have been using apple tv for a while and never had this happen before
Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer? If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens? This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content. Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
- I have a stable internet connection
Clearlly you don't
>(Ive tested on other devices)
Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
>- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud. It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though. So that is good.
Have you checked your wireless rounter? Tried doing the factory restor on it? Upgrading it's firmware? Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens? -
using Apple TV for first time - to rent a movie. Logged in successfully - billing info updated. Keep getting message to log into Itunes on PC - movie won't load on TV -
any advice?3GB for a movie? That's almost equivalent to an original DVD.
Have you checked in the Recently Added playlist?
I think this is possibly linear. Select 'normal' in HB, iTunes accepts it; select 'high quality' in HB iTunes doesn't. I can't say why; I don't have any video that anywhere approaches 3GB in size. If that's how iTunes behaves I don't see you have too many options. You either select normal and it works, or you select HQ and live with playing the movie outside of iTunes.
I won't ask what movie because any help with illegally ripped copy protected DVDs is strictly prohibited by the Terms of Use so I'm assuming this is a 6 hour video of your puppy playing on the floor. -
We are getting ready to purchase the new imac 27" and would like to know which is the best configuration for watching streaming video, the fusion drive or the more expensive flash drive. We will have a fast fiberoptic internet connection.
the harddisk speed mean nothing when it comes to streaming video from the internet
even the fastests internet using fiberoptics is still much slower then the slowests harddisk you can buy -
Hi we have apple credentials for downloading OS and creating Provisioning profiles. Now we are trying to upgrade the Mac OS 10.7.3 version. do we need should buy this version from appStore. or can it be download from the apple site for free? Many thanks in advance!
Whether you need to buy Mac OS X 10.7.3 depends on what version of OS X you have now.
If you have OS X 10.6.x or lower it is a paid upgrade from the Mac AppStore.
If you have OS X 10.7.x it is a free upgrade you get using Software Update on your Mac. -
Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO
Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO
The problem is the tech dinosaur "DVD" is still the bread and butter money maker for them. Streaming is getting better but greed is keeping it from blooming. NetFlix had the price increase because the cost to stream in this case from STARS was ridicoulus. Streaming content in general is not very good from neither NetFlix nor Amazon prime.
Looking at NetFlix "New Arrivals" right now.
OMG!
Ironclad
Lodes Kitchen
The Flinstones
Saw III
Starz Play is a little better;
Toy Story 3
Secretariat
Weird Sciecnce
Father Of The Bride.
But Starz play is going bye bye. NetFlix got a little boost by signing a deal with Dreamworks, but that is still 2 years away. I really see DVD rentals hanging on for at least 5 more years at current levels. In general I am very happy with my AppleTV, I am not happy with the issues it so frequently has with NetFlix, and only wish it had more selections for streaming.
Maybe Oct 4 we get an announcment. -

Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help
For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

HT3819 can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?
can i use apple tv to watch a movie that is not in itunes?
That depends on where the movie is.
If it is on a computer, it must be in iTunes to be able to stream to the ATV.
If it is from an online streaming service, then it does not need to be in iTunes on the computer. -
