	Can I Use Turbo.264 with HDTV content?

Solution Turbo.264 can be used to convert a variety of file formats, including HD resolution recordings. However, the Turbo.264 hardware has a resolution limit of 800 x 600.

Use the AppleTV export preset to get the highest resolution, up to 800 x 600.

That 800 x 600 file may be automatically stretched anamorphically to 960 by 540, to preserve the aspect ratio. That will only happen for Apple TV exports.

The Turbo component will preserve the aspect ratio and resolution of the source recording, if it's 800 x 600 or less. For example, a 480p resolution recording (720 x 480) will still be 720 x 480 after the AppleTV export.

A high resolution 16:9 recording (like 720p or 1080i) will scale down to a maximum resolution of 960 by 540, when using the Apple TV export.

An export using the Apple TV export does not have to be used with Apple TV. It can be used with any application or device that can play H.264 at that resolution. Use the Turbo.264 preferences to select a particular export destination.
