Hi All
To say my head is spinning is an understatement. I'm about to press proceed on the shopping basked on a purchase for an Apple TV. I've been reading through the Forums all over the place and get conflicting advice on 720p playback.
My main reason for the purchase is to play back 720p MKV files. I'm currently changing the files to a different container to play back through my PS3 which works fine. But I don't get the niceties of the look of XBMC or Apple TV's new look.
I guess my question is "is there a chance that XBMC will play my 720p MKV files without conversion or is there a way to convert the files without loosing the a) quality and b) the 5.1 surround sound?"
Sorry if this has been asked recently and you're sick of reading this question.
I so want this to work as I don't want to have to go the Western Digital route.
Many Thanks guys.
Dave
