Handbrake is a good way of doing this, but if the files you have are mkvs with x264 or h.264 video in them I've found Subler to be a superior solution. <http://code.google.com/p/subler/> I've moved over 400 video files to iTunes to make them available to Apple TV, and most of them only took 2-3 minutes to 'convert' and add all the appropriate metadata as well. If all you want to do is play video on the Apple TV though, and you have another iOS devices, Air Video is the best and simplest solution. -- I WILL NOT DO THE DIRTY BIRD Bart chalkboard Ep.
