![]() Are you saying that Apple should be required to do it, just because it is possible and because you want/need it? In my mind it seems a bit "Nazi-Tastic" for any individual group or agency to be able to require a company to add any specific functionality. Now, given your request, it is definitely possible to add a DVD player, but that is not the product that they wanted to make. Of course considering the laws of reality, we know this will never happen. ![]() Or I would even settle for any combination of these features. Personally, I want Apple to come out with a Super AppleTV that has a 2TB SSD, blu-ray, multi-stream cablecard slots, DVR functionality, plays any audio/video format, has an App store, and has a monthly all-you-can-consume flat rate of $30. I can understand someone wanting Apple to come out with a product that perfectly meets their needs. Whether or not digital downloads win out over Blu-ray is still up in the air, but the DVD is on life support at this point. In the case of the DVD it isn't quite dead yet, but it's most definitely heading in that direction. Some people still watch VHS (my neighbor, for example, who has a HUGE movie collection on tape), but that doesn't mean the Apple TV needs to come with a VCR deck. There's no compelling reason why Apple should put a DVD player in its Apple TV device, other than the fact that you want one. If not, and if you really want a DVD player, a keyboard input, etc., get yourself a Mac mini and connect it to you tv.īut let's be realistic here. Then you can stream whatever you want with the press of a few buttons.Īs for watching YouTube videos on the computer, just hook up a laptop to your tv. Yes, it might take a while depending on the speed of your computer and the size of your movie collection, but you only have to do it once. ![]() Then, take your existing DVDs and rip and encode them. OP: Do yourself a favor and put the money you were going to spend on a DVD player towards a new Apple TV instead.
