Before talking about today's Post theme, I want to let everybody look at the following information first :
Compared with the previous Apple TV, what improvment the new Apple TV 3 (2012) has made? The change and improvement of 2012 new Apple TV:
1. Incredibly small dimensions and with just the outputs you need, the Apple TV will fit anywhere unobtrusively.
2. The new interface is bigger, bolder and easier to use than the old one.
3. Focus on bringing you your content without necessarily having to have a server in your house, using iCloud.
4. Full HD content from iTunes is a vast improvement over the old 720p content of the previous Apple TV.
5. Finding new content is easy and there's even Genius to give you recommendations based on what you've already watched.
Ok! Here is a question: Is there a way to rip Blu-rays to ATV 3 with AAC stereo and AC3 5.1 pass through for audio receiver?
This question is what we want discuss today.As we know, the Apple TV 3 can support H.264 video up to 1080p. High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats, so if you wanna transfer Blu-ray movie to ATV 3, you’d better rip and convert your BDs to H.264 video in AAC audio codec. While, some Apple TV users also wanna let Apple TV pass-through Dolby Digital to A/V receiver to take advantage of your surround sound system, so you need reproduces Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound from your source video.
