Rip DVDs To Your Mac To View On AppleTV And iPod.
AppleTV is cool but it has a couple of major flaws. The first is no DVR—digital video recorder for TV. The second is no DVDs. AppleTV can’t play DVDs, so…
How easy is it to rip DVDs to your Mac and have them play on AppleTV or an iPod with video? It’s easy and painful.
I’m probably going to wait for AppleTV 2.0. That will give Apple time to work out the bugs and add functionality that AppleTV really needs.
DVD playback and a digital video recorder. Add them to AppleTV and the product will own the living room.

I feel your pain. I like the fact that eventually AppleTV will cut out the need for DVDs but I would like to keep the stuff I have already bought. Also I give Apple props for cutting into the bloated overpriced cable companies bottom line. I also hope that they keep track of what I have purchased so that I can stream it whenever I want. I am worried that no one can tell me how much bandwidth AppleTV will consume. Eventually I am looking at having 4 of these possible gems. But if 3 of us are streaming video can a 4th person be surfing the web or will our video be coming through all choppy with that many open streams or is there only one stream allowed period? Still waiting for the Apple rep to get back to me with the answers.
