Streaming movies!

**jairo1daywrk4apple** · 06-28-2011, 04:57 PM

Hey everyone okay i've been trying to do this for weeks and now need the help from the great members here!

Okay so I've got most of my blue-ray movies onto my imac itunes using the code, but the rest of my movies that are not blue-ray? I want to transfer them into my computer so I can simply just put them in itunes and have them stream to apple tv! BUT I cant find a program that will rip my DVD, convert it to mp4, and still give me that perfect quality that the DVD was in.

SO, I either need a program to rip and switch to mp4 in perfect quality, or need to know If I can jailbreak my apple tv so that I can stream movies from my computer that are avi or any other format! can this be done! please please help me it will be much appreciated!

Try Handbrake.

+1 for Handbrake.

You can use DVDShrink or DVDFab to rip the DVD and then use Handbrake to encode it

Handbrake plus one.

Or you can jailbreak your ATV2 and install a media server like XBMC or PLEX and then you don't have to convert anything!!

Or you can use AirVideo for realtime conversion and control it all from an iPhone.

I wasn't aware that Handbrake could rip commercial DVD's. Or am I missing something?

Yep...I rip 'em as soon as I buy them... put the discs away and save the wear and tear...

Where's the option to do that? Every time I try to use Handbrake to rip a commercial DVD, I get errors. Their website even says that the software can't do it.

Install VLC first... then try it.

I use handbrake to convert the videos and have VLC player installed to play them. Find this is a very good combination, easy to use and no hassles.

Yes. I just JBed my ATV2 this morning and installed XBMC. Still playing around with it. You should definitely check it out.

+INFINITY for Handbrake.

**edit_text** · 07-11-2011, 04:52 AM

Jailbreak + XBMC

Well, Handbrake can't rip copy-protected and Encrypted DVDs, but it is still a amazing program, and as I got iFunia to be a complement, now let them make my Apple TV to be my family' home media centre.
