News: QuickTime gains 720P Apple TV high-definition export mode

News: QuickTime gains 720P Apple TV high-definition export mode: "In an undisclosed and largely unnoticed update to its QuickTime video playback and conversion software, Apple has quietly added an ‘Export to Apple TV’ feature capable of creating high-definition videos viewable on the Apple TV accessory. Unlike Export to iPod, which currently creates sub-DVD-quality 640 by 480 videos, Export to Apple TV creates not only full DVD-quality 720 by 404 videos, but also 1280 by 720 videos. These videos are viewable in iTunes, but cannot be transferred directly via iTunes to an fifth-generation iPod."
