• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

If we are talking about copyrighted material, then I believe it's against the forums policy to discuss this.

1. Buy the movie from iTunes or elsewhere.

2. Buy an Apple TV.

3. Stream the movie from your computer to your TV via Apple TV.

Marvellous!

Not really any mention of them being illegal at all, so just convert them to MPEG2 using ffmpegx. Burn them to disc and they should be fine.
You will lose quality though.
Either that or what Chas said, get Apple TV or a WDTV media player.
