On September 9, 2015, Apple have release their fourth-gen Apple TV. It looks taller and thicker and more technology.With the new Apple TV and tvOS, a redesigned interface, and the Siri Remote, there’s never been a better time to be a TV. When you got new Apple TV 4, what would you do first? Aha..,open the box first. Seriously, I would enjoy my favorite DVD collections on it first! However, you should know some more information below first. 

Apple TV 4 Supported Video/Audio File Formats/Codecs

4th Apple TV supports the following video and audio file formats and codecs. Before playing a DVD on Apple TV 4, you’d better make sure that its format is included in the following Apple TV compatible file formats list. If not, a DVD ripper that can convert DVDs to Apple TV 4 playable formats is a necessity.

Apple TV 4 supported video formats:

• H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
• MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
• Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

As you can see, Apple TV 4 supported video file formats are very limited, DVD disc or even the decrypted DVD rips can’t be supported by Apple TV 4. Of course, most of you are not about to pay iTunes’ ridiculous prices to watch movies and TV shows I already own on DVD. Instead, you’ll just rip those DVD discs to an Apple TV 4 friendly format. The best solution is to rip and convert DVD to iTunes compatible format then sync to Apple TV 4 for playback without any limit. Below is how to.

Here I found a very useful DVD ripper for you,Pavtube BDMagic for Mac, it can help you convert DVD to iTunes compatible format then sync to ATV 4 for full HD playback without any limitation and there is no quality loss when compared to playing the discs themselves. The sound can be kept with the original Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. For ripping DVD to iTunes for ATV 4 on Windows, please turn to BDMagic for Windows.
