Why cant my Apple TV 1st Gen play MPEG-4
Question: Why can my Apple TV 1st Gen only play one film out of my library in iTunes i have TED the movie its saved as MPEG-4 just like my other films.
When i try to play anything else the ATV begins to play i get screen freeze and the speech comes out less frequent. I own a Apple TV 3 and plays back all of my library without any hassle. Regards Adam Last edited by SimplyMac2012; Dec 12, 2012 at 12:25 PM. |

If you ripped the movie with ATV3 preset, it won't play on the ATV1. Either rip 2 copies, one for each or rip in ATV1 format to watch on both.

Yeah, it's a hassle. My ATV3 will play almost anything. Even many pass through remuxed AVI files play in their new m4v containers.
ATV1 is very picky though and always needs a pretty narrow and specific profile for files to work.
