• 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.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I need some help uploading DVD onto my MBP. I want to upload them so I can watch them on apple TV. Is there a program that is recommended or will just loading them into iTunes work properly? Also which format does the DVD have to be in to be compatible with Apple TV. Also it is an Apple TV 2 if that helps or makes any difference. Again thanks for any help that anyone can offer I am still new to Mac and learning the ins and outs.

So long as it's a non-copyright DVD, family video from Granny Smith in Australia etc, you can use Handbrake to 'rip' the video to MP4/MPV format (it has a preset for AppleTV). Once converted just drag it into iTunes.

If it's a shop bought, copyrighted disc.... I'm afraid the forum rules don't permit discussion of that nature:
