The superdrives in all Macs support only DVDs and CDs - they do not support Bluray. So, first you will need to purchase an external Bluray drive.
Second, for apps - download two amazing programs called MakeMKV and Handbrake. MakeMKV will rip the Blurays as an MKV video file, and then you put it through Handbrake to convert it into a format that your Apple TV will recognise

thanx will handbreak keep 1080p quality?
It will allow you to keep the 1080p resolution but you can't stream that to the new ATV - 720 is the max for the ATV.
