Good heavens man! I don't envy you that job...

Glad to participate. Like my good friend signals, I also love a good mystery...

I'm curious about apple tv. I see that your file sizes approach mine, using my default settings. For eg., The Illusionist, movie only, no menu, is 990 MB.
I took a look at apple's site. Besides a hdd and wireless synching with your tv, what else does it do? I'm amazed that you can get a good quality pic on a 50" screen from a 1 GB file..
