Apple TV and FrontRow

[MrMaxy]

Hi Guys,

I had a look around in the forum, but could not find what I,m looking for. But I'm absolutely sure someone out there has the answer to my question!

Is it really necessary to have movies in the iTunes library to stream/synchronize them with the Apple TV?
What about all the other movies I can watch on my iMAC in FrontRow? Is it correct that they can't be seen via the ATV?
Thanks a lot for your help out there!

They have to be in iTunes and they have to be in MP4 format.

That's sad, that means no TV for me

But what about those who rip their DVD collection? How can these movies be included into iTunes?

Yes - handbreak will convert most DVDs to iTunes compatible files.
