designing the software, "Apple TV 2" would mean 720p and
"Apple TV 3" would mean 1080p.

Handbrake is (very popular) open source video conversion software.  What 
I doesn't do is actually rip DVDs (hence the other software) but it does 
seem to keep more of the quality in the conversion than any other 
product I've tried.

The documentation is here - https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki

I'm not really sure *exactly* what it does (I'm increasingly more 
interested in the content rather than the technology - that's what a 
career in IT will do to you eventually!).  The crucial thing is that I 
missed from my original post was that I've not noticed* any problems 
with the result.

* Disclaimer - not that I can see (or hear, taste...) like I used to.
