iMovie HD to Apple TV best setting

[sas76]

Hi,

I hope this has not been covered already, if so just point me in the right direction.

I want to export my iMovie HD projects to apple TV (in my case a xbox 360 running connect 360) .

From the connect 360 website
"HD video streaming
Connect360 now supports WMV+WMA, H.264 and MPEG4 video sharing, allowing you to stream HD quality video right to your living room!"

I have been using the default TV settings and they look good but not great. I have been trying out other settings without much luck.
I am also burning the to DVD and they look perfect.

I am using a sony DCRPC108E a new iMac and veiwing on a Panasonic Plasma about 120cm, something around there.
Also I have ripped many of my own DVD's using handbrake and the TV settings and they look great.

Are there any other settings I should try ? any ideas ?

Thanks

Best settings I've been able to use on the TV are :

H.264

960X540
Bitstream around 4000k

24-bit 48k Audio

Anything above that I've been unsuccessful in copying over to the TV

It's also best to start with a RAW 1080i or 1080P file.

For my HDV 720p projects, I sometimes use default AppleTV setting and sometimes quality looks a bit better with H264/4000kbps/1280x720/24fps video and 160kbps AAC audio. I wish AppleTV was powerful enough for 30fps at 1280x720, but it is what it is...

Thank's I will try these settings
Could it just be the quality of the video I am editing ? although when burn't in iDVD it looks as good as the original.
