Problems playing mp4 format on apple tv??? help!!

[jammeygit]

I know it sounds odd, but i queued 1o episodes of the tv show scrubs in handbrake to convert to mp4 for apple tv and when it finished i could watch all of them no problem except the first one? when i clicked on the first episode it said this format couldnt be played on apple tv... but when i converted them the settings were the same for all the episodes and the download source was the same as well so why did it decide not to play this one in particular? and whats weirder is i can watch that episode on imac in itines but not on apple tv... how can it play on my mac in itunes but not stream through itunes on to an apple tv???? PLEASE HELP!!

Open the first plus another in QT, then get info, compare resolution and framerate. Did you choose H264 encoding or Mpeg2, the ATV only supports the latter to a low resolution and framerate.

thanks will try that. I selected the apple tv preset on HB to convert the files... but the weird thing is that i used the same settings for all the episodes but only episode one wouldnt play... weird eh?
