How we Review - what do we look for DVD to Apple TV Converters:

Glossary, Terms:

Copyright protection, encrypted DVD, CSS: Most of today's DVD's are encrypted with a Content Scrambling System (CSS) to avoid duplication. Be sure the software you purchase has the ability to override this encryption. While some DVD to iTunes programs have this built in, others will provide a link to download a separate program which the software uses to process the decryption.

DVD to Apple TV Converter: This term is used for software that can copy a dvd movie from a dvd to an iPod, Apple TV and iPhone. This is different from software that can copy movies or video from sources other than a dvd (for example, a downloaded video from YouTube). These programs are called video to Apple TV converters. Sometimes these two products are sold in a "suite" offering both types of software. These "suites" offer the best all around value.

Compression: When copying a movie onto Apple TV, the software will use compression to shrink the size of the movie in order to reduce the space needed on the device. Although this works well, some quality is lost. It's recommended that you omit bonus scenes to reduce the amount of compression needed, the best software can compress the output video into a very small size while maintaining the good quality.

Episodic DVD: Sometimes you may want to copy DVDs onto Apple TV containing a season of certain television programs such as 24 hours, Lost or The Sopranos. These DVDs contain episodes, so having DVD Converter Software with Episodic Support capability will allow you to copy individual episodes into separate files rather than one whole output file.

Subtitle configuration: This feature enables the user to select the subtitle language desired (ie. Spanish, English) to put on the output video.

Audio/Sound Track configuration: DVD to Apple TV programs enable you to modify the video's audio language (ie. English, Spanish) before ripping.
