I've decrypted a few Blu rays to my hard drive. I can tell they're using H.264, which my AppleTV might be able to play. How can I find out what profile the Blu-ray stream uses, and what features it uses that might be incompatible with QuickTime?

Don't bother. The apple TV won't play anything straight of blu-ray. IIRC it only supports Main Profile and maximum resolution of 720p while blu-ray AVC streams are generally high profile 1080p. So you'll have to reencode the video anyway. You'd also have to change container and and probably reencode the audio to something the apple tv supports.

edit:
If you want infos about the files you can use "Mediainfo" (sourceforge.net) to get it.
