Just a thought relating to all of this - I have a really clever (and understanding!) friend who I have persuaded to put together a nice script thing for me that will go through my movie collection and if a movie has only an AC3 5.1 soundtrack it will save this as a Stereo AAC and then add it back to...

Hmmmm - I'm really going to hesitate before I press "Submit" on this comment. gbooker you have been incredible and I have learnt more about movie formats etc in the past week than I have during the past few years! I really wish that I had consulted with you BEFORE I decided to RIP all of m...

Great - thanks for this. Done some tests and it works fine .. and the information in the QT file does appear to be accesible and scriptable ... so fingers crossed for an automated or semi automated solution. Most of my movies were ripped via Visual Hub (RIP) as AppleTV 5.1/two pass/go nuts quality -...

Hi. Me again. Have hit another speed-bump and I am hoping that you may be able to help. I decided that I would add an AAC stereo track to all of my movies using the process that I outlined above: Open Movie - Show Movie Properties Select the AC3 soundtrack and Extract ... save as m4v (takes around 5...

Me again... noticed something "interesting" that may have some relevance to this thread (and have googled and can't find any info on this). A lot of my movies have (as discussed previously in this thread) AC3 5.1 audio tracks in them. If I use QTPro and look at the properties of the audio ...

Hi - first of all, yet again, many many thanks for your help. Sorry that I haven't got back to you sooner... today has been the first time that I have had some time to get back to work on my AppleTV challenges! OK - I'll spell out what I have done for the benefit of anyone who is following this thre...

WOW - first of all thanks so much for your wonderfully thought through and patient response. My understanding of (and doubts about) the AppleTV have grown more in the past 24 hours than at any time in the past year or so! Thanks loads - first, for taking the time and second for persevering with my l...

Thanks for this input - and it was me who posted on the AwkwardTV site - with a slightly different version of the same problem and, to be fully honest, I don't think that I really understood your response. I can follow out the sort of step by step Terminal instructions that are published for some so...

OK - perhaps this is a stupid question .. but whether it is or it isn't ... I still don't know the answer and really would love some help! I have around 800+ movies that I have ripped from DVD's ... mainly using Visual Hub and ripping to AppleTV 5.1 (so only a 5.1 soundtrack on 99% of them -no stere...

Anybody got any hints/tips/ideas? I've made a few successful builds of Perian 1.1b using the instructions in this thread and I would like to think that I'll be able to make a few more in the future however I've been trying over the past few days and when I attempt to check out the source tree I get ...

Thanks for this - by "perfectly" do you mean that you can play mkv files with AC3 with passthrough? (and from within Sapphire?) I do know somebody who is doing this but they are running 10.5.2 delta - so perhaps there are some further potentials for success when this emerges?. Would be int...

Ah well - just for a moment I thought that I may have solved my problem. But no! Perian is great - but Leopard seems to have turned it over. Mac Mini Intel with Leopard and Frontrow (and working via Sapphire). Compiled Perian 1.1b1 as per instructions and got prefs pane (phew!). Removed old Perian (...
