Hey,
In my iTunes I have three versions of every movie, one in 1080p, one in 720p, and one in 960x640.
The reason I do this is file size. I have apple tv's hooked up to home cinema systems, so there I want the 1080p 5.1audio versions.
On my iPads I want the 720p 2.0audio versions and on the iPhones and other mobiles, I want the 960x640 2.0audio versions.
Now in iTunes I only seem to find a setting that can make me choose to prefer SD versions on my iPhone/iPad.
For the iPhone this works fine, but not for the ipad, I have the preference that I want the 1080p to play on my computer and now it automatically picks the 1080p HD to sync with the iPad. If I change the setting to prefer 720p it will pick that version, but I am afraid that it will now also stream the 720p version to my apple tv. (I can't test it as I am away from home for another 2/3 weeks)
But I was hoping you could help me figure this out before I spent pointless hours creating the 3 way combos in iTunes.
Thanks
Arne
