> Hi, I have Handbrake set to rip to Apple Universal format and movies end up anywhere from 1.3 GB to 2.5 GB depending on the length and quality of the original. This is pretty close to the same size as what you get from the iTunes Store, maybe a little bigger in some cases. I've found, at least with my 1st Generation Apple TV, that making sure that things are either set to Apple Universal or Apple TV that things work without a hitch. My sighted family has never complained about the video quality and I've always enjoyed the sound quality.
