apple tv and video servers

Posted by chris e. on June 19, 2007 at 23:14:28:
I wanted to find out other members' experiences with an apple tv -- I've been using mine with a macbook pro laptop connected to a 1 terabyte hard drive and I've got roughly 300 movies loaded on it. Although the picture isn't quite as good as with a dvd straight out of the machine, it isn't terrible by any means (a bit analogous to music using AAC versus lossless) and the convenience of access is incredible. The one real drawback is that it doesn't output Dolby Digital or DTS. So all movies are converted to Dolby Prologic and this is a major drawback.

Does anyone know of a workaround concerning the dolby digital issue?
