RE: Apple TV - Video Formats

["White, Peter" <peter.white@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, it's very fussy about what it will play.  I'm part way though
converting my library to M4V/MP4 to satisfy the needs of Apple TV (and
iPad, iPod, iPhone...)

Obviously there's apps that will take care of playing non-MP4 files on the
mobile devices, but so far there's no sign of an app store for Apple TV.

Does anyone know whether the new Apple TV will play / stream .iso container
files from a network drive a) at all, b) via iTunes etc.

Had a look at the Apple TV site but its a bit vague as far as I can tell.

Like the idea of the new device but not if I have to re-rip / re-encode the
dvd library (Again that is. I've previously recontainered the whole lot
into .iso)

Thanks
