What kinds of videos and movies can play on Apple TV?
If you can't add or play a movie in iTunes or QuickTime Player, then you won't be able to convert it to play on Apple TV. Some examples of movies you can't add or play include WMV, AVI, DivX, RealMedia (rm), and Flash format files. According to Apple’s specifications, Apple TV-compatible files have different limits based on the encoder used. H.264 files can be up to 5 Mbps using the Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps. The maximum resolution is 1,280-by-720 pixels at 24 fps, and 960-by-540 pixels at 30 fps. MPEG-4 files can be up to 3 Mbps using the Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps. The maximum resolution is 720 by 432 pixels at 30 fps. Although you’re unlikely to come up against the resolution limit for MPEG-4 files, you should choose H.264 in the converting process, since it gives you more flexibility in terms of data rate and generally looks better than MPEG-4.
