How to Export Quicktime to Apple TV
Apple TV is a form of Internet television that allows users to stream videos, movies or television shows to their television by connecting a HDMI cable or component video cables to the Apple TV media device--which plugs directly into a television. Exporting QuickTime to Apple TV is an easy process; however, it requires you have the QuickTime Pro component installed with QuickTime Player--since QuickTime Player alone cannot export to Apple TV. Please note that Apple TV files can be rather large, so make sure you have plenty of hard drive space to store your files before you begin.
