The device runs OSX just stripped down, so you can copy most files from your mac to the aTV to add features. Right now my aTV has a file broswer, which mac and pcs in my house can drop vids into. It supports any vid format, except maybe real media, never tried that. The aTV also runs os X apps including Joost. I also have a web browser, and I enabled USB so that if a friend throws a video on a flash drive it can be plugged into the USB port and then played on the aTV. All in all a pretty damn sweet device. Too bad Apple didnt make it do all this from the get go, and it required about 12 hours of moving files around, adding some code, and a hell-of-a-lot of testing. But it works.

VisualHub is fantastic, easy to use, and fast for converting to AppleTV. HandBrake lets you fine-tune just about every quality setting you can imagine for ripping DVDs... It's not that difficult of a process, perhaps you should look a little more closely next time.

I blog for both the sites and I feel honored for the sites to be included on the list. With the iPhone getting all the attention nowadays, it feels like the Apple TV is the forgotten child of the iProducts. By the way, you mentioned that the HD podcast compilation on AppleTVSource does not have a categorized index. I am working on redoing the list to make it easy to search. Look for the new and improved version next week. Thanks again. Daniel, thanks for the mention of AppleTVSource and AppleTVHacks.net.
