Reinvent Your Apple TV with aTV Flash Hack

One of the biggest Apple TV limitations is the lack of codec support, like XviD and DivX. But, it is possible for Apple TV owners to play nearly any format, from AVI and DivX to WMV, along with raw DVD files without converting them first.

Sure, you could download open source handbrake program and waste 2-3 hours to copy and encode a movie to Apple TV format, or you could use aTV Flash USB stick and skip this lengthy process. Additionally, aTV Flash will install all the necessary software automatically, with no modification or coding required, and it will ‘upgrade’ your Apple TV to play most video formats, such as DivX, Xvid, AVI, WMV, RMVB etc.

Supported video codecs: AVI, FLV, and MKV file formats; MS-MPEG4 v1 & v2, DivX, 3ivX, H.264, FLV1, FSV1, VP6, H263I, VP3, HuffYUV, FFVHuff, MPEG1 & MPEG2 Video, Fraps, Windows Media Audio v1 & v2, Flash ADPCM, Xiph Vorbis (in Matroska), MPEG Layer II Audio; AVI support for: AAC, AC3 Audio, H.264, MPEG4, and VBR MP3; Subtitle support for SSA and SRT and many more (full list).

But the fun doesn’t stop there. With aTV Flash drive, you can sync, organize and watch non-iTunes video files; browse the web with Apple’s Safari browser; rent and watch High Definition movies from Jaman.com; stream media from UPnP(v1) media servers, and much more.

This upgrade will also install an RSS reader, so that Apple TV can deliver the latest headlines from the web. And best of all, aTV Flash hack will not void your warranty, and all original Apple TV features will remain intact. You can get aTV Flash for $59.95 directly from Apple Core LLC web site.
