faster encoding or transfer of movie to Apple TV
I recently purchased a new IMac and a new video encoder. I have begun to download all my 8mm home movies (each movie is 1-2 hours)into IMovie and eventually into Itunes to view on my television through Apple TV. (This is a great solution and it really works).I realize that the encoding is going to be minute to minute when downloading but the generation of thumbnails into event planner takes an additional 20 minutes. Furthermore, once I share the file to Itunes (so I can view on Apple TV) it takes an additional 2-3 hours. With a library of a couple hundred tapes, this will take forever. Is there a faster way to do this?
IMAC, Mac OS X (10.5.1)
