This article will show how to get Blu-ray/DVD/VCD collection backed up and at the same time get them converted to 1080p format supported by Apple TV 3.

Apple TV is a digital media player, it is a small network appliance designed to play digital content from the iTunes Stone, Netflix, YouTube, iCloud, etc.

Supported formats:

Video: 

  • H.264 up to 720p at 30 frames per second (1st & 2nd generation)
  • H.264 up to 1080p at 30 frames per second (3rd generation)
  • M4V
  • MP4
  • MOV
  • MPEG-4
  • Motion JPEG

Audio:

  • HE-ACC (V1)
  • ACC
  • MP3
  • AIFF
  • WAV
  • Dolby Digital (5.1 surround sound pass through) (aka AC-3)

The supported formats show that Apple TV does not support to play DVD directly. However, I want to get my DVD and VCD collection backed up and at the same time get them converted to 1080p format which supported by my Apple TV 3, so that I could use the output video for entertainment playing on TV.

Then I searched in google using “dvd video converter”, Pavtube does not figure in the top results while the other like wondershare, avs, ameersoft, etc, but I was luck to just do a random search to compare with wondershare before I bought and come across Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate (Mac version: iMedia Converter for Mac). It is easy and quick to get started with UI. The most important thing is the support for Apple TV 3 format.
