As the first Apple TV units begin to ship, word has come that the latest QuickTime update includes a new "Export to Apple TV" option.

The preset Apple TV export will yield DVD-quality 720x404 or 1280x720 HD video.

While power users will want more fine-tuning through advanced settings these pre-defined output options will be great for most users.

HungryFlix.com will soon begin support these advanced resolutions in our movie downloads.
