Synology and appleTV3

[kiuas]

hi there,
can anyone tell me what setting I should use to rip DVD so I can play the film from Synology NAS to Appletv3.
Appletv3 profile does not work, Synology given error message saying that format is not supported by Appletv.

Thanks a lot!

Hey Buddy!

I can tell you the way I do it. First I rip DVDs/Blu Rays with DVDFab into the .mkv format. After it I convert these files with a tool called "mp4tools" (http://www.emmgunn.com/mp4tools/mp4toolshome.html) into a .m4v.

Now you can stream files. I'm not sure how you have access to your NAS with AppleTv3? Thought it's not jailbroken.. But I stream these files via my Mac using iTunes and Homesharing.

You can not use a NAS with the apple tv3. You must have iTunes running on a PC or MAC and put your movies on that and apple tv 3 will see them.

Hi,
Did you have any problem when playing the converted video by Apple TV?
Why not convert DVD/BD to apple tv format by DVDFab directly?

AppleTV profile did not work with Synology NAS + AppleTV 3.

Instead using MP4 profile with H264, AAC audio codec and frame rate 30 produced files that can be Airplayed directly from the NAS.

I have no idea why the AppleTV profile did not work as the settings looks almost identical.

Hey Wilson!

It's because DVDFab does not show me, if I can just passthrough the audio stream or if I have to recode it, which the other tool does.

Would you please uncheck "Output both aac and ac3 audio..." option in Advanced setting and try again?
DVDFab will output both aac and ac3 audio tracks default, mp4.h264.aac only have aac audio track. Maybe it's caused by this.
