Displaying presentations via Apple TV
Macworld: Mac 911: Displaying presentations via Apple TV
this is the kind of hacking I'm interested in doing with AppleTV - repurposing for other useful things. A $300 HD presentation machine is nice to have, and between Keynote, iMovie, iPhoto, QT Pro, and other simple/easy to use tools, you can do a lot.
Devil's advocate - for $375, you can get a Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player that plays back MUCH MUCH MUCH better looking footage - but you need DVD Studio Pro to author for it. And while it isn't as interactive as AppleTV for this purpose, you can make it plug-n-turn-on simple for deployment - not the case with AppleTV (until somebody hacks it to auto-play something).
Depends on whether you need to do a retail installation for presentations or an in-the-meeting-room type of presentation.

I'm thinking of using AppleTV to display an HD quicktime at a trade show, which would need to loop all day long.
Do you know if the AppleTV can do this out of the box, or is there a hack that will help?
AppleTV seems ideal for this type of job, small, cheap and easy to use and create content for.
Much better than using HD DVD/BluRay for this kind of one-off job

I am trying to use Apple TV to set up an events listing or presentation on a tv in our entryway. I follwed the directions using Keynote, exported it to Quicktime with a loop. However when it plays on my desktop in quicktime there is a loop but after putting it into movies in iTunes and syncing to Apple TV it doesn't loop there. Has anyone found a better way to do this. Picture is great! All is well but it needs to loop.

Librarian, a few thoughts:
1.) make a playlist of one item, put your thing in that, set repeat prefs to ON, and maybe that's all you need to do.
2.) Considering AppleTV is $300, and Amazon had the HD-A2 for as little as $309 lately, and DVDSP 4.1.x can make workable, menus-and-everything HD DVDs...perhaps that is your way to go...
....but if you need to update content frequently, AppleTV has the edge - just pushing files around, not burning discs. Flexibility too, to load various content.
But the video quality from HD DVD would be potentially MUCH better.
Video playlist loop do not work on ATV
Feh. Drat.
What about setting the movie to loop as a QT command (Cmd-L in QT Player), and saving that and putting that file up on AppleTV? Or setting the loop flag in Compressor or somesuch?
Anybody who gets a chance to test this, please let me know...

no chance to make it looping, even if you upload a quicktime looped movie directly onto your ATV bypassing Itunes, the movie plays well, then no loop... hacking ATV quicktime will be the only solution until Apple release an ATV update with this feature.
Yesssss, I have it via quartz player and quartz composition.......infinite loop with good quality, trying with a 720p animation, will post quality results later.
Fred,
I'm anxiously awaiting your results! I was going to buy an Apple TV today, on the assumption that it would loop easily. We had an ancient powerbook pushing welcome messages to a 42" LCD TV, straight out of Keynote. THe PB died.
I'll do the work around if I HAVE to. I just need to know the machine can do it before I make the buy. Feel free to contact me directly at tony at sheets dot net.
Thanks!
Tony
Hi Tony,
there are now tons of plugins and hacks to make this happening, eg NitoTV which allow you to create video playlist via mplayer, etc.
Quartz is good also.
I have 5 Apple TV feeding with 720P25 H264 running smoothly on tradeshows by now,....
Go for it, needs to be hacked, but provide a very good tool for presentations.
I'm picking up this thread 7 months later but did anyone ever find an easy way to loop a quicktime on Apple TV?
