Do you want to play MKV, VOB, MTS, ect movies on new Apple TV 3 with AC3 5.1? I found many users choose one common video converter to convert MKV/VOB/MTS videos to MP4 AAC and transferred to new Apple TV 3. In fact, the sound is still at low, tinny volumes and the audio sounds full of noises and muffled and distorted like hearing it all through a tube or something.
Then how to copy HD movies to Apple TV 3 for enjoying with AC3 5.1 in best audio quality? After testing, we've found that if we transcode video to M4V in 1080p with Dolby Digital pass-through, we can get better audio quality with AC3 5.1 under the help of the best Video Converter for Apple TV 3. The Video to Apple TV 3 Converter Tool has the Apple TV 3 Profile, thus you don't need to choose the settings.
