OK, I've watched Apple's video on AirPlay:

<http://www.apple.com/ios/> & click "See AirPlay in action"

So I know this should work!



Tested and working:

Iphone4 updated to latest software
New Apple TV (Nov 2010) connected to TV and working
Home sharing enabled on iMac, AppleTV, and iPhone
Airplay switched on on Apple TV



Videos to try:

1) Episode of "Ancient Discoveries" TV show, downloaded from iTunes store
(free sample ages ago)

2) Episode of Rake, downloaded from iView, converted using WinX HD Video
Converter for Mac using "AppleTV" default and classified in iTunes as "TV
Show"

3) The same downloaded Episode of "Rake" but converted using "AppleTV HD"
default and classified in iTunes as "Movie"



RESULTS
All three videos play fine on the iMac
All three videos play fine on the TV using AppleTV and homesharing from the
iMac
All three videos are synched over to the iPhone and play fine on the iPhone

Airplay from the iPhone to the Apple TV works fine for sound - Albums &
songs play and the associated artwork is displayed.

Airplay from ANY of the three videos on the iPhone results in the sound
playing fine but just a preview icon for the movie being displayed.





Apples video demonstrates Airplay (from an iPad) streaming video to the TV
via the Apple TV and they say it works from the iPhone - I get the same
Airplay button as in the video and I can select "Apple TV" - the trouble is
that only the sound gets streamed - not the video.


I've done some googling but none of the posts I find seem to reflect my
problem.

Any clues out there?


TIA
