1080p Handbrake settings for new Apple TV?

[alexeliasson]

Is there any solution to reduce the "maxbitrate tops" of a video - in a quick manner?

My problem: I've a range of 1080p h264 movies with an average bitrate of 10-15mb/s. As you probably now the maximum bitrate the ATV3 will play is 25mb/s. My movies contains certains scenes - lets say 5 % of the movie - that exceeds that limit to the range of 30-40mb/s. This causes the playback to glitch..

Seems like going thru a long and hard pain to reencode all my videos 1-2hrs each just to fix this..

The problem - in the first place - is that MKVTOMP4 has a couple of encoding options. One is called ATV3 and it has a maxbitrate of 3mb/s. Why is this option available - or as a standard? It's almost 10 times below the capacity of the ATV3...

ripping blu rays to play on android device

I have been trying to rip blurays using handbrake so I can play the files not only on my pc but mainly for my android phablet. I am able to rip the files in 1080p and get them to play on my pc but I cannot transfer them to my phone probably because the files are larger than 4 gigs. The ripping process takes up to ten hours for a simple movie like Iron Man. I am using handbrake 9.9 which allows you to get those subtitles off the bluray without having to download SRT files. does anyone have any suggestions for me. BTW, i'm not very good with the tech speak so your gonna have to explain it to me in laymen terms.

It's been awhile

It's been awhile. I've read that a new higher resolution BR format is going to be introduced in the near future. With current ATV capped at 65mbs on the 5gz band, has anyone figured out a way to go beyond that cap? I have tested the ATV3 2 feet away from AX ac and ATV still caps at 65mbs on the 5ghz band. Yet I've seen a post with screenshots of someone actually have ATV at 150mbs somehow.

Was the the 150mbs achieved via WIFI or hard wired?

The person that posted it never answered. I bet he did have it wired. I tested the ATV hardwired to a 5th Generation Airport Extreme. Even with that connection 100mbs is the limit for ATV Ethernet. I think that poster is full of BS posting that. lol ATV at 10/100 should be good enough to stream higher bitrates...I hope.

I am also guessing it was hardwired. I have quite a few movies that are Blu-Ray rips that are over the 8gig mark and I am able to stream them from a NAS box to my AppleTV 3rd Gen without issues. It is hardwired though from end to end.
