For me (and I'm still in the testing stages right now...can't get video to stream), it's to have instant access to all my concert DVDs as well as my sons' Baby Einstein and Thomas DVDs.
We have a 5 disc DVD changer, but even with the changer loaded, it takes time to switch between discs and, of course, one has to manually enter the discs into the changer when changing. Add to the fact that the DVD changer is in another room separate from the TV, having an Apple TV makes even more sense (for us).
That being said, if it doesn't work the way I want it to, it will go back to Costco.
Having audio and photos as well is gravy. The main purpose I envisioned was for the video. Additionally, though ripping/encoding took A LOT of time, if everything works out, it will be worth the effort (to me).
