Thunderbird/24.6.0   
   I bought an Apple TV last year, and have converted all the B5 episodes &    
   films (plus several hundred other DVDs).  FWIW this is the method I use    
   after lots of trial & error.   
      
   It's a two stage process (I couldn't find a single piece of software    
   that did what I wanted and was reliable across loads of different DVDs).   
      
   Firstly I rip the DVD using WinX DVD Ripper Platinum (commercial    
   software).  I use the preset "main title content copy" to get a .mpg    
   file of the main contents.  Sometimes there's a bit of detective work to    
   select the right title number etc, but this has worked on more than 97%    
   of my DVDs   
      
   Secondly I use the freeware Handbrake software to convert to a    
   compressed .mp4 file suitable for the Apple TV (and iPads etc).  I use    
   the supplied preset "Apple TV3" which I thinp converts to 720p.   
      
   I then load the files up to iTunes so I can access them via Apple TV or    
   any of my iDevices.   
      
   It all works well for me, but if anyone has any better suggestions I'd    
   love to hear them.
