Handbrake settings for best ATV quality?

[NightStorm]

Click on the AppleTV preset, then go to advanced options and change everything so it matches this screenshot. On the "video" section use constant quality at anywhere between 66-70% (I use 66%) It will take longer but the encode will be higher quality and have a lower filesize. Enjoy.

They will not always have a lower file size.

Do these settings allow you to add the movie to your iPod? If not, what other settings do I have to change to I can have good quality for my 42" plasma and still have them all useable on my iPod for road trips, etc.?

Even when I view Apple HD content it is not as nearly as good as my DTV HD. I think the ATV is going back.

Assuming that "DTV HD" is referring to over the air HD, of course its not as good. OTA HD can rival blu ray for bitrate / resolution. HB SD Dvd conversions are only 480 p. HB can give you nothing better than the source you feed it.
