![]() Why would they ? It’s been superceeded by H.264. ![]() I expect a product I buy to make life easier, not more difficult and time consuming. Sticking the DVD in the DVD Player seems far easier to me than ripping it and then syncing it to the AppleTV. As for right now, I view the AppleTV as a crippled product and think it is worth it to shell out more for a Mac Mini, which can run VLC using the Apple Remote and play pretty much anything you throw at it.ĮDIT: Advertising the AppleTV as being capable of displaying high definition and then not offering any HD content doesn’t exactly help matters either.Īll in all, when viewed against the iPhone and its promise, the AppleTV looks to me like a waste of time and a disappointing launch for Apple. Hopefully Apple works these issues out sooner or later. It would be a much more compelling product if you could “purchase” or rent content while sitting on your couch. However, if all I’m doing is renting a movie for a day or 2, it isn’t such a big deal.Īnd last but not least, AppleTV being tethered to a PC or Mac is downright stupid. If I “purchase” content, I want physical media that isn’t tied to one company’s products. Furthermore, the inability to rent content on iTunes is another real show stopper. ![]() Apple was…to be blunt…stupid to not support things such as DivX. ![]() I think the lack of codecs and abysmal selection of video content on iTunes (yep, everyone is sure going to be satisfied watching Disney movies all of the time!) are going to hurt the AppleTV far more than the lack of recording capability. ![]()
