Xilisoft DVD to Apple TV Converter

Note: This software solution's trial version is no longer available, but users can still download it from Softpedia and use it with its specific limitations.

If you've just bought an Apple TV system, then most of your movie collection is in the form of DVD movies. While you can't directly use the Apple TV to run your DVDs, you can use a converter to rip the contents of the disks and turn it into compatible formats. Xilisoft DVD to Apple TV Converter is a lightweight software tool that will facilitate such a conversion fast and easily.

While there isn't a general rule as to how this kind of software should have its UI arranged, most of them follow the same layout, and Xilisoft DVD to Apple TV Converter pretty much follows the same guidelines. The layout is simple, self-explanatory and great even for first-time users that have never used this app before, and the process of actually converting your movies is just as simple. In simple terms, it all revolves around the concept of browsing for the contents of your DVD, select the exact format or profile you want it converted into and then waiting for the job to be done.

The app doesn't manage to auto-detect the contents of your optical drive, so you have to do it manually. It can also be used to convert the contents of IFO files. As for output profiles, Xilisoft DVD to Apple TV Converter currently supports 12 different profiles, eight of which are proprietary to Apple TV and the other four are general formats (e.g., MP4 or MP3). As far as memory consumption goes, Xilisoft DVD to Apple TV Converter is easy on your system's memory, as it doesn't have much impact even during a conversion, which can be observed in the built-in CPU monitor.

Xilisoft DVD to Apple TV Converter doesn't bring much to the table as far as new features come, but since it is one of the few apps out there that can convert the contents of DVDs to Apple TV makes it a great addition to your digital library.
