Can you get AnyDVDHd in the U.S. anymore?

Of course, just go to Slysoft and buy a copy.

I'm converting my ripped blu-rays from mkv to mp4. Using handbrake if I don't want any quality loss do I uncheck or check the large file selected box.

There is always a quality loss with hand brake and especially if the goal is to play them on an existing ATV2. If you talking ATV3 its all speculation since no one has one yet. be patient. If you goal is to play blurays at original quality the AT has not been the box. That may change in the future but I doubt it will change much.

^ you can use a tool like subler to just remux mkvs into mp4 containers. Won't get HD audio, but still can get surround sound and it plays natively on the AppleTV and will play on the ATV3 with no video quality loss.

pure speculation as no one has the ATV3 yet.

Curious what does subler do with AVC and Mpeg2 streams. It looks like a cool program but the web page seems to indicate only H.264 support?

It's not really speculation since the same files play even on the ATV2, just output at 720p.

Subler or some other program WOULD require transcoding then, which I should have been more clear about. I figured most people would have mostly h.264 blurays like I do, but maybe that's not a fair assumption.

Hey gang, just in case this helps, you can use XMedia Recode, software to re-wrap video files (different extensions) without losing video quality. There is a "Copy Video" function.

Is there anything i can use that doesn't cause quality loss. Should I wait till the ATV3 presets are out, that can handle 1080p.

Did you try XMedia Recode?

New version out today, look under Apple AC3 preset. Outputs at 1920x1080, is that not enough?

Digging around, I see a Blu-Ray compatible option as well.

Apple universal remote control system, a touchscreen remote that would allow users a to control Apple TV & multiple devices (it may include Siri).

To obtain the IR codes, you to take a picture of an existing device/a remote control (for example), and send it to iCloud to determine the make and model of the device to be controlled & obtain the IR codes for it - article click here.

I wonder how this would compare to AppleTV remote, iPad/iPhone remote Apps or even harmony/universal remote control? & the price range?


Cheers

I guess we will have to wait and see if this means anything. I doubt it. I can
't tell you how many patents we file that are just in case and have nothing to do with products we are building.
