Apple TV 1920X1080

When I try to convert a toast file into the 1920X1080 HD Apple TV format I get an error message right at the very end. It says something like: Popcorn cannot do that command because there was an OS error. Error: -50. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

OK after a couple of tests I have found that the quality of video at 1280X720 is too choppy for viewing. Right now I am encoding an action movie at a lower resolution but the maximum frame rate.

Also check the AppleTV forum Here to learn if others have posted tips on maximizing the HD picture quality.

Thanks for the info. I get my Apple TV this Sat. so I'll be posting how well video looks at 1280X720.

I'm testing now with a 1920x1080 29.97 fps MPEG 2 video and it seems to be crawling along. It may be there is a problem with the source video (dropped frames are common for me with OTA HD captures).

 

Do you have an AppleTV? The maximum resolution supported by it is 1280x720 24 fps.
