If you want to start converting those discs into high quality videos that can be streamed to your Apple TV, you can do it with a combination of Handbrake and VLC. I wrote a tutorial at <a href="http://www.macgurulounge.com/getting-your-dvds-onto-your-mac-iphone-ipod-or-apple-tv/" rel="nofollow">Mac Guru Lounge</a> explaining step-by-step how to do this.

NOTE: MAKE SURE you remove all other USB drives from your Mac when you make a patchstick by running the ATV Creator. This is because the software doesn't say which drive is which, and you could potentially erase a spinning hard drive (with all of your cool content on it) if you do not know which USB/disk1 or /disk2 your thumb drive is! Enjoy! I’ve got another video on how to do this process if you want to watch it via the link above.
