I still miss VisualHub (or, Handbrake's Apple TV default sucks)

[Rene Ritchie]

I used VisualHub's Apple TV conversion preset on "go crazy" mode for all my really good quality video and it always looked beautiful.

Handbrake's Apple TV setting is a joke, downscaling way below 720p.

Anyone have a good high quality 720p setting for Handbrake?

Sigh.

Rene, don't know if this helps but I had seen a post on Lifehacker with a good preset for the iPhone 4 a month or two ago, this might be a decent preset for the Apple TV, not sure. It had a preset file attached to the post which could be used. I'll try to find the Lifehacker post and post the link here.

I tried using the settings above but it took close to an hour to convert a 1hr20min video. I have a decent machine so I'm certain it's not that.

I'm curious to know if maybe Handbrake is typically slow or if there is a faster program out there?

Did you tried MacX HD Video Converter Pro?

I am liking iFlick but generally run a lower quality conversion (iPhone 3). I love how it gets all the metadata.
