Hi all, I have a Apple TV 1 and I'd like to play videos taken with an iPhone 4S. The problem is that if i sync photo library with iPhone videos in it, they don't sync. If I drag a video from iPhoto to iTunes Movies and than try to sync, I have an alert saying that Apple TV cannot play that kind of video... What's wrong?
Apple TV
AppleTV1 is a few years old now. At the time is was ahead of the game in many ways but still only powerful enough to decode 720p video (1280x720) at 24 fps (25fps at a push tghough not officially).
iPhone 4S (and many earlier iPhones) video was not directly compatible with AppleTV1. For the iPhone 4S the resolution is too high being 1080p video.
You need to use the Share for AppleTV 1 option in iPhoto to create a compatible video for AppleTV1. It may well offer you 960x540 resolution, use that, add to iTunes and it should then work.
