What I find weird though, is through iTunes, I can play the video file, then send it through iTunes to ATV and play it over my bigscreen.

Just curious if anyone has had this problem where ATV simply isn't reading this on its own.
It's generally better to convert files to M4V for ATV2.

I use MKVTools for repackaging (most of my files are already h264 and only sometimes need the audio re-encoded) and Handbrake for re-encoding video (in OSX).
