Convert AVI from MiniDV cassettes to Apple TV with AC3 5.1

Mini DV tapes provide some of the best quality for consumer videos, but there is not much you can do with it until the video is captured and converted onto a computer. When Mini DV footage is uploaded, it automatically is uploaded as a large AVI file, which is not compatible with QuickTime player or iTunes. If you’d like to watch your Mini DV shootings on HDTV via Apple TV box, it’s a must that you convert AVI files to M4V or MP4 video. A conversion can help save hard drive space and still keeps the excellent quality provided by the camera. 

A Apple TV users’ question from discussions.apple.com 

How to go from MiniDV AVI files to Apple TV on a Windows box? 

I have the following equipment: 

- iMac 
– MiniDV camcorder 
– HDTV that supports 480p and 1080i (but not 720p, and it has component inputs only, i.e. no HDMI) 
– Hard-wired ethernet network between computer and TV rooms 

When I upload my home movies from MiniDV tapes to my computer they are saved as big uncompressed AVI files (one hour = approx. 12 GB.) which I usually either encode as MPEG2 & burn to DVD, or encode as DivX files for viewing on my Mac. I’d like to buy an AppleTV and convert my AVI files into a format that I can use to watch them on my HDTV. What is the best way of doing this? What (Windows) software should I download/buy to do it? How should I encode the files? Can DivX files be viewed via AppleTV? Ideally I’d like to convert the AVIs to a format that will allow me some flexiblity to continue viewing them on my Mac in other applications (though I don’t have any particular need to view them on handheld devices.) 

Thanks!
