Hmm. Thank you Chris. The first thing I tried was to install the 3ivx codec and play it in Quicktime. This worked, but not useful for AppleTV. So I found that one can save the avi as a .mov container file. Copy that .mov container to iTunes. But it won't copy to iTunes. The .mov container works in Quicktime. But doesn't copy to iTunes. Even adding it manually to the iTunesmedia/movies folder doesn't work. The only other option I see is to set up some strange server app to serve it…and I haven't looked into that option very closely yet, mainly because I'd prefer to avoid that if possible. Meanwhile, have converted the file with Handbrake and am ready to go. But if you or anyone has a good workable solution, even a server recomendation. I have a pc running Windows 7/Ultimate 64 bit An iPad 2 Powerbook with Lion Apple TV There must be a good way to share all of these various files and stream them to Apple TV Thanks again, Jeff _______________________________________________ Osx-nutters mailing list [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters
