iSkysoft Updates DVD Ripper for Mac With Second-generation Apple TV Support

Online, September 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - iSkysoft Studio, a professional developer of Mac multimedia processing tools, is pleased to announce its flagship product - iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac v2.0.1 now supports converting both encrypted and non-commercial homemade DVDs to second-generation Apple TV .

The second-generation Apple TV is a media streaming or synching device, unlike its storage-based predecessor. The Apple TV was released four years ago, and even with an updated interface, added features, and price cuts, it was never what we'd call a success. Here's our hands-on first look at the all new Apple TV.

Part of the original device's lack of success can be attributed to the fact that Apple considered Apple TV a 'hobby' and never really devoted the time or resources to make it a better product, but as Steve Jobs admitted at the launch of the next-generation Apple TV, it also didn't give customers what they wanted.

It lacked content and quality, cost too much (both the hardware and downloaded media), and was too complicated. The Apple TV reboot is an attempt to address those issues and make it a well-respected member of the Apple ecosystem. (We say attempt because it's too early to tell if the updated model will satisfy current owners or convince those who've never used an Apple TV to take the plunge.)

This new Apple TV certainly wins on the hardware front. On the outside, it's a quarter the size of the original, a tiny black box that will run cool and quiet due to its utter lack of a hard drive.

The new update also makes iSkysoft DVD Ripper for Mac go a step beyond supporting all types of Apple Players including iPad, iPod, iPod touch 4, iPhone, iPhone 3GS and New Apple TV now.
