I tried to stream a "internet setting" 720p 22 min movie from my computer to my new Apple TV (Sony AVC mp4). It shows up on Apple TV,will fast forward movie,etc but will not stream and play film at normal setting with sound. The film is 1:22 GB. Is the film too large to stream or do I need to use a different setting when rendering? I am using Vegas 10a. thanks so very much

Make sure you update the ATV software. There have been two updates since the product was released, and they have fixed some rather serious problems, and it might help you too.

I use El Gato and EyeTV on my miniMac for my PVR, and generally set it to render in iPad format. Plays fine. I've also used Handbrake to do full 720x1280 and those play without problems

Here's a report from ** MEDIA INFO ** from the El Gato rendered to iPad m4v file.
