2500 kbps rips look fine on the AppleTV, you can go up to a theoretical 5000 kbps, but I don't notice any improvement visually, and the file sizes of course balloon way up.

Good to know, thanks.
Do you find the movies look darker than they should after you rip them? On my TV, whenever I rip to .mp4, they are almost too dark to even watch.
