I'm planning to post an article within the next few days with my exact "step by step" instructions. I will say that after working my way through 75% of my collection, I have a hard time telling the different between the iPhone setting (480 x 727 output) and the Apple TV setting (720 x 480). At 1/3 the file size and often less than half the encoding time, I'm hard pressed to recommend the higher resolution and bitrate. If you really care about the picture, you'll notice a bigger difference between BluRay and DVD than you will between DVD and the "iPhone" encoding preset. However, as I mentioned before, I always keep the Dolby Digital track in tack by selecting the AC3 Passthrough option. Thanks for your feedback.
