I just purchased an ATV2 Saturday night and I must say I am pleasantly surprised! I had (Note the Past Tense) a Roku 2 XD and was not impressed. All the menus seemed laggy and gimmicky all around. M new ATV2 is quick, streams all my iTunes media I have on my FreeNAS box with ease and just all around very happy with purchase! I'm in the process of using Handbrake to encode all my DVD Rips I have... which on a 2008 macbook is turning out to be a lengthy process... can't wait to get a new computer!!!
 
I'd recommend iFlicks, it's in the mac app store, for converting files over. It worked a lot better for me. And it added all the nice artwork and meta data in there.
