When I rent HD they start playing in no more than 30 seconds...

Also...I haven't had issues playing a lot of my movies on it. I have quicktime pro which i open avi, mpg, wmv files etc in. Save'em out as .mov and then into itunes. from there it streams to my apple tv.

Ah, I didn't think of that... well done, you found a way :lol: Now I have to buy QT Pro and an Apple TV, thanks :twised:

well after seeing the XBOX would work, looked into the kid's wii.

Not as slick as Apple TV and iTunes, but using winamp I'm playing my MP3s on my HT.

Well I just ran into an issue trying to get a movie to play. It was .avi so I opened in qt and saved as mov. Went into my library no prob. But there was a flag when trying to sync to my apple tv. Must be the codec no idea. So in qt again...I selected export and saw a 'movie to apple tv' option. This create a .m4v and I KNOW this works flawlessly. Takes a while to do the conversion tho.
