My Hurt Locker is 22GB, using HB aTV3 preset.
Thanks for checking mic j, mine comes in at 19.84GB. Do you have any issues streaming to the ATV3?
I can only assume some sort of network problem but why do some work and others don't?

No problem...sorry.Thanks for checking mic j, mine comes in at 19.84GB. Do you have any issues streaming to the ATV3?

I assume you have tried Optimizing and it didn't work for you, right?
Subler and HB both have the same optimizing function, so there is no difference. If you miss doing it in HB (I have it set as part of my aTV3 preset) you can always do it with Subler. But they both do the same thing.Yup, original run through HB was ATV3 preset with "web optimised" ticked. When you attempt to play the film through AT3 I get the spinning wheel as normal for 5 seconds or so, then the film starts to buffer (progress bar at the bottom). Then.... nothing.
Tried running through the Subler "optimise" option and get the same result.
Whats strange is that its only on the large 1080P rips. SD, 720P ATV2 rips, and smaller ATV3 rips all work perfectly.
I'll re-rip the Blu-Ray in MakeMKV and try again and report back tomorrow.
Thanks for the help.
No, the file size is irrelevant (sort-of), the bitrate matters. Obviously they are interlinked.I'm sure the final file sizes after handbrake are correct.
Hi DJTaurus,
Did the Subler "optimise" work for you? I too am in the same boat, all SD and 720P movies stream perfectly from itunes on my mac to ATV3. It is only when I try and play 1080p rips (and then only some of them) that they just will not stream.
Not sure if file size has something to do with it as the 1080p rips that do stream fine are relatively small files (5-10 GB). The ones that don't work are larger size rips like Aliens (24 GB) and Hurt Locker (19GB).
All the 1080p rips where done in Handbrake ATV3 preset, and all 720P rips done using the ATV2 preset. "Web Optimise" in Handbrake was checked on all rips :S
I just wonder, why are your audio tracks so different from mine? What version of Subler and iTunes are those pics taken from?
I get proper Stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 displayed in iTunes 11. As you can see, conversion was done with HB 0.9.9
Then I can only suggest to analyze them with Media Inspector to see what codec tags are assigned to the tracks. They can be off in MKVs (Subler won't touch them, so they pass unchanged) but HB always sets them correct to iTunes' and TV's liking.Dont know mate. I only download movies from piratebay and kickass… and then i just use subler with default options and optimise in the end.

PS for a new HandBrake run, try with constant quality setting and slider set to around 22.0 (+/- 0.5) to see if that helps.
PPS I don't think you need to re-rip it again, if you can get this MKV through HB, it should be OK.
Exactly. But my idea was to lower the resulting bitrate to see if that helps.Don't you get better quality through HB by sliding the slider the other way to the right? i.e. wouldn't the quality be better if its say 16 as opposed to 20?
Exactly. But my idea was to lower the resulting bitrate to see if that helps.
The scale is logarithmic, so even small changes cause big effect on bitrate generated.
I use 22.5 for 1080p Blu-Ray rips that seems to yield about 5000kbps stream.
PS just for testing, you don't have to handbrake the entire movie! You can limit it to range of frames, time or chapters.
I can't complain, but your eyesight may be better than mine...so I think ill be using 22 or so which will still be good quality im assuming?
