Playing home movies on Apple TV

Question

Playing home movies on Apple TV

Apple TV seems to have changed. I create my movies in Final Cut Pro and share them in itunes. When I go to play them on my TV from Apple TV, I now get a "buffering bar" across the bottom of the screen. As my movie is approx 30 minutes long, it buffers, then plays a bit of the movie, then stops to buffer again. So to watch my 30 minute movie will take more than an hour as I have to wait for it to buffer all the time.

Is this normal, and is there anything I can do to speed it up?

Thanking you in anticipation,

Hi Norm G,

Thanks for your help.

I checked out the troubleshooting reference. There were no apparent problems that I could see. I wasn not able to check the connection with a cable as I do not have one long enough.

I checked my movie, and the problem is still the slow streaming.

So I will keep looking for a solution.

Regards,

Alan
