Is it possible to stream VLC between a Mac and Apple TV
I have a mac and apple TV, and have to convert files to mp4 to use on Apple TV via iTunes (which is a pain) and I was wondering if there is a way to use VLC on my Mac and stream the video over to Apple TV. any help appreciated

Without some modification to the software on the Apple TV, such as using XBMC instead, I believe it will only work using DAAP sources, such as iTunes.
BTW Which model of the Apple TV are you using?

Providing logs, messages, configuration info (VLC, OS, Hardware) and a clear explanation of the issue always helps the problem solvers help you, even if they don't end up solving the issue. Just think what you would need if you were solving someone else's problem. Additional: Always looking for eager and capable MacOS X developers to join the VLC team - for more information see here.

Streaming to Apple TV would surely be possible by adding AirVideo support to VLC. I saw some basic code for a Linux sound server a few weeks ago, so this is surely possible, however, I've got the feeling nobody will be working on that soon... Sorry.
