• 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.

I recently purchased an apple tv being told that i can watch movies from my hard drive through itunes over my home network. First none of my movies are in a format to watch through itunes. How do i watch AVI movies in Itunes without having to convert hundred of GB of movies over?

If it were me, as mrplow stated in the last option - I'd convert it - if for no other reason then if you ever plan to have an iPhone/iPod touch/iPad you'll want it in a container and codec that will be compatible. Plus, depending on the nature of your machine, transcoding on the fly to support video even through airflick may not work well - you'll have to try it.
