What movie formats and resolutions will 1st generation ATV play?

I need to know why Edge of Tomorrow won't play on my ATV 1st gen. I think it has something to do with the format being HD 1080p, but want clarification.
I purchased it with my iPad and bought the 1080p HD version.

Yep, it won;t handle 1080p only 720p 24fps.
You can download 720p to iTunes if you fiddle with download Preferences.

Pixel errors and artifacts on 1st generation ATV

After a lot of trouble in the first years I have been pretty happy with my 1st gen ATV. Until recently, when it started to show pixel errors (some white pixels) and some weird flashing artefacts on the user interface. It starts to happen in movies too - some white "static" on perfect HD video files. No problems occur when the picture screensaver is on.
I have already re-installed the firmware from scratch (factory reset and update to 3.02), but the problem persists. I also swapped the HDMI cable, didn't help.
Could it be the old guy is dying?

HT1860 I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer. What am I missing?

I purchased a movie on my apple tv (1st generation) and I'm unable to download the movie to my computer. What am I missing? I have home sharing set up and can see my computer iTunes on my apple TV. I just can't see my apple TV movie on my computer.

Hello theycallmeboz,
If the movie was purchased on the AppleTV it wont show up in home sharing until that movie has been downloaded to an iTunes library. You can download previous purchases from the iTunse Store at any time. The article below goes over that process.

Can't see movie rental options on my 1st generation AppleTV.

Can't see movie rental options on my 1st generation Apple TV. Everything was fine until last night. Music, photos and YouTube access via Apple TV are working fine. I've checked for software updates, have the latest version of iTunes and have rebooted everything. Any thoughts?

Hi Fenway_Fan,
I am experiencing the same problem. At the same time, I noticed that the movies I have on the hard drive keep hanging up during playback. Today, I took the ATV 1 all the way back to factory settings, and then set it up again. Same result. I only see My Movies Trailers under the movie menu. And trailers does not work. If you highlight it, it moves the highlight right back to My Movies. I loaded 2 movies back on the ATV1. They still hangup during playback. And even though I reconnected my iMac, I cannot stream movies to the ATV1 either. My library shows up in settings, but I can see no movies through the ATV1.
Did Apple change something? I can't imagine what else would make all these changes seemingly overnight. One day it worked and the next it didn't.

Applications in dashboard not opening/what movie formats are best?

what movie format is best to download onto macbook? None of my usual applications (vuze, VLC, quicktime player) are responding/opening! I've always had trouble happening upon congruent formats, so that's my first question. Secondly, vuze which I usually use, has just stopped opening. The 'vuze downloads' window will open, but none of the movies in it will open, and the application itself won't pop up with its usual big window. The little vuze icon is still in my dashboard, though. I tried re-starting vuze, but it didn't do anything. QuickTime player won't respond either. HELP!!

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

HT1473 I get a message the songs are in wma format and iTunes will convert them to AAC format - do I select Convert or Skip?

I get a message the songs are in wma format and iTunes will convert them to AAC format - do I select Convert or Skip. I ripped new CDs I bought using Windows Media Player and they are saved on my C drive. I have done this before but cannot do it now.

If you want to play them in iTunes, choose "Convert." This will allow iTunes to create new AAC versions and add those new versions to your iTunes library.
The original WMA files will still be in the folder(s) wherever they currently are. iTunes will ignore the WMAs once it has the converted versions. It is then up to you if you wish to keep or delete your WMA origninals.

1st generation ATV internet radio problem

I have the 1st generation Apple TV and I love it except for one problem. Sometimes when I'm playing the internet radio it just stops and I have to unplug the device and re-start it. I'm curious if anyone is having this problem with the Apple TV 2? There aren't going to be anymore software updates to the 1st generation ATV but if the ATV2 works okay I might consider switching.
Thanks!!!

What is the best format and resolution to save my logo images for Adobe Premiere 3.0 videos.

Hello,
I've had great success using this forum in the past and was wondering if someone could help me out. I save my logo images for my video as transparent PNG at 72 DPI (because i read an article that stated that 72 dpi was good) in Illustrator for my Premiere-edited videos, but they seem pixelated. See example at
Can anyone tell me the best way to save it so that it is more crisp.

XonoBoom,
With PrPro, you CAN Import Layered PSD's. You will be given two choices, when you do: Import as Footage, with the Layers Flattened (the term for merging all Layers into one), or as a Sequence. Now, the latter has slightly different results, so you will want to explore this a bit more closely, and the Help File will be, well "helpful." The Layered PSD will come in as a Sequence, and in a Bin. The Bin will need to be twirled open, and from there, one can do all sorts of operations, such as Nest that Sequence into another, but for what I do (and what you might wish to do), you can just click+drag each Layer (they appear separately in the Project Panel), to Video Tracks, where they can be used in their order of creation, or can be moved about, as is required. One can add Effects, or adjust the Fixed Effects, such as Opacity, to each Layer individually. I do this for a lot of Titles, and just create those Images with Layers in PS. A little planning is required, in that creation, but once you get the hang of it, it will become second-nature.
A variation from PS is the Layer Comp, which is useful for intricate animation. That "variation" is on the PS end of the process/workflow.
Good luck, and if you do much work with graphics into your Video, I think that you will save a lot of time, plus have so many creative doors opened to you. Just spend a little time looking over the Import PSD as a Sequence, so you will understand what you are getting, what you are seeing and how to handle it. Many are not initially expecting a real Sequence, and worry about what to do with that.

What screen protector and case will you be buying for your new ipad (3rd generation)?

Hello!
I'd like to know what types of cases people will be buying for their new ipad this coming Friday as well as what type of screen protector/body guard you'd recommend.
I've been looking online trying to find places that would be able to ship before Friday, but I'm not sure which one to go with, there's too many options! I'm definitely interested in a leather folio case though.
I've also been wondering what type of screen protector to put on. I've seen the iVisor anti-glare, and I really like how it works, but seriously... anti-glare on a retina display? I don't know... any thoughts on that or suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks!

I had an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad 2 and it degraded the quality of the screen so much I removed it. I have a clear skin on the back, which I like. It prevents scratches to the aluminum back and provides a gripping surface to hold on to. The iPad itself was slippery so that extra grip factor helps me. I use a smart cover for the front, because I like the features it has and the quick removability when docking the iPad. I also like that it automatically sleeps and wakes the iPad thereby conserving power. I chose the polyurethane smart cover because I had heard many issues with the leather covers fading/losing color and I couldn't justify the $30.00 dollar difference in price. I dock my iPad into an iHome theater device regularly, so using a portfolio type case would be too cumbersome to deal with. I do think portfolio cases or the otter box cases provide more protection, but they add more bulk to the iPad than I care to deal with. In the end it comes down to personal preference based on your particular needs. The items I have listed and the reasons for them fit my needs, I'm sure others will have different configurations that are specific to their needs. Hope this helps,
Bob

What movie formats play on ipod touch

I just tried synching my iPod with my Mac, three short (10-12 min each) movies in *.mov format. iPod says it won't synch them because it can't play them. Doesn't tell me what it can play though.
Don't you hate it when a program goes all coy on you?

Oops, not so fast.
HandBrake did change formats, but when I try to load them onto my iPod, I get the same error message: [paraphrase] will not load because the format is one this iPod cannot play.
So I guess my question stands.
If there are presets for formats for iPod . . . I failed to see and/or take advantage of them, I fear. Will take another look, of course.
