I too am getting the same behaviour when converting a bluray MKV file with build 0.9.7, this time its on a x64 Windows PC. Audio runs at normal speed, video appears to run extremely fast.

I think the HB developers on the HB forum can be of help and it would be a more appropriate place to troubleshoot HB than the aTV forum.Like I mentioned in my earlier post, my HB has stopped working completely shortly after having the ATV3 preset available. I even set it up to run High Profile and Normal and it's still not working. It will process the whole movie but I cannot get it into iTunes. When I highlight the finished file in the folder, it will show the size of the file and that's it. All the others will show much more information, not just the file size. I'm sorry to keep bringing this up, but this problem hit out of the blue, and it's frustrating me to no end! I'm been running 'round the clock for a month now, and have crashing to a halt.

Thanks, I'll do that. Mind pointing me in the right direction (link)?
without a paste binned activity log from the encode, I could not hazard to guess what the issue is.
Note to the OP ... both of these posts are off topic ... Maybe you guys having issues could post it on the handbrake forums ?
The OP says that Handbrake now has an Apple TV 3 preset. The assumption is that the preset works and that is why this is news worthy since it might attract people to using the new build. Well, given the reports that suggest the preset isn't working properly, I think that's pretty relevant to the topic under discussion. It's to say: "nope no real ATV 3 preset yet in Handbrake, stay tuned".
The issue is not with the preset, the issue is with the 0.9.7 release. It's buggy. Nothing wrong with letting people know HB is having a problem but it really should be a new thread and not a thread discussing presets. Also, troubleshooting HB issues is better handled in the HB forum where you will submit an activity log and they can truly analyze where your problem is coming from. JMO
right and a last minute change to pfr itself caused issues depending on the source. thats fixed now in svn and we are just testing.All I know is the High-Profile preset worked fine but the ATV 3 preset didn't work.

I agree expecting to get a fix here is far less sensible than reporting it to the Handbrake forums, but as I said, I only reported the problem here so people know there is an issue. Whether it's the 0.9.7 release or the preset I don't know. All I know is the High-Profile preset worked fine but the ATV 3 preset didn't work.
At the start of this thread it makes mention of a bug within the atv3 preset around anamorphic and loose mod 2 / strict. Has this now been fixed in the available .98 release?
I tested just one movie (which is never a good sample size) so far and the file size difference is more than 1GB.
A little confused, I thought a lower RF (higher quality setting) should result in a larger file size?Just to add on to what you've done. I used Handbrake in the past to do a few 1080p rips and they took 8 to 10 hours to run and produced output of about 10GB each. Note, I started with the High Profile and tweaked it down a bit for the ATV3.
Yesterday I ran "Puss in Boots" through it (BluRay source). I started with the ATV3 setting, set the RF to 18 and let it run from there. The output was about 5GB and it only took 3 to 4 hours to run. Not only did it produce a much smaller file, but it took about 1/3 the time. Quality wise I didn't notice any difference.
To me, looks good already.
