Hi,
For the 3rd gen Apple TV would I just select the Apple TV (720p) preset and change the resolution to 1920x1080 when needed or does MediaCoder still really need a dedicated preset for the 3rd Apple TV?
Apple TV 3 Preset?

Re: Apple TV 3 Preset?
Looking at the technical specifications for the Apple TV 3rd gen, it requires this:
Just copy all that into Notepad and save as an .xml file. Then load it as a preset into MediaCoder. It's set for H.264 1080p/30fps @ High 4.0 using 2-pass encoding with 8Mbps bitrate (you'll want to change the bitrate and maybe rate mode depending on your preferences) and LC-AAC 160kbps stereo audio.
I'm not sure what settings the 720p preset uses but you can use it as a base, just check the settings it loads against the specifications provided by Apple. Or, it might be better to just create a new preset:
- H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
- MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
- Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Code: Select all

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

Re: Apple TV 3 Preset?
I suppose you could but you also need to change the bitrate as well at minimum. Maybe some of the more advanced stuff like profiles and levels as well.watson45 wrote:For the 3rd gen Apple TV would I just select the Apple TV (720p) preset and change the resolution to 1920x1080 when needed or does MediaCoder still really need a dedicated preset for the 3rd Apple TV?
