Apple TV & Macbook Pro:  DVD playback on Macbook, Can it be watched through Apple TV?

If I play a DVD on my Macbook Pro, is there a way that I can watch this through my Apple TV.  I'd like to be able to watch some things on a larger screen.  Is there a way to do this through iTunes?  Other ideas?

No. All content needs to be in iTunes to stream to ATV.

  • My macbook pro dvd drive opens all disks as blank, can I fix it?

    My macbook pro dvd drive opens all disks as blank. I have no access to a near by apple store as I live in remote NSW. I purchased the macbook when I lived in Sydney and the old owner had just had a fresh copy of the OS loaded. I've read a discussion of a similar nature and the only comment was take it back, that is easier said than done. Is there a fix I can do from home?

    If you didn't buy this from the store, the first thing you need to do is boot from the install DVD, erase the disk drive (perhaps even zeroing it) and install a fresh copy of the OS. You do not want to inherit any changes the previous owner may have made to the system software (or worse).
    had just had a fresh copy of the OS loaded
    …and the cheque is in the mail.
    I am talking about putting in any CD that is known to have content and it loads the CD and says its blank with nothing on it
    Who says?
    Anyway, try

    Not the MBP-R's, you can't even change the RAM or storage in them.
    The other 15" MBP's you can and they include the Superdrive built in.
    Last time you do a impulsive purchase huh?

  • What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on PC or DVD player using MacBook Pro?

    What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player?  I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music.  Thanks.

    I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
    Good luck,

    Is your MacBook Pro early 2011 or newer.  If not that is whay you cannot mirror and a third party app called airparrot would help.

  • Macbook 2008 - DVD Playback issue

    Hello. 
    I have acquired this macbook about 6 months ago (I think it's early 2008, you twist the button with a coin to remove the battery).  I mainly use Windows on it, but it does exhibit the same issue on Mac OS X Lion and Windows 7 64-bit.
    DVD Playback stutters a LOT.  It's like watching cbs.com on Low Power AMD CPU's (C-50 for example).
    Workaround is to turn off hardware acceleration in Power DVD that I am using, then playback is smooth, just fine.  I haven't worked with MAC DVD Player settings, but so far that is what I have to do in Power DVD.
    I am guessing its some sort of a hardware failure unless someone may have a suggestion.  Graphics card is Intel 965, I am typically running at about 30% ram free, cpu is 95% available, hard disk is in good condition.
    Thanks.

    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

  • MacBook Pro DVD-R cannot see files

    I have a DVD-R disc with two folders. One has 1,440 files the other 432.
    On my MacBook Pro in OS X, I can only see the files in the smaller set. OS X reports the other folder as having 0 files.
    However, runnings Parallels, Windows XP can see all the files.
    How can I see my files without starting Windows.

    I'm having a similar problem. When I put a DVD-R into my Mac G5, all that shows up on the desktop is a folder. I open the folder and it shows no files. However, with other DVD-Rs it shows up as a DVD on the desktop and I'm able to open it and extract files. Strange thing is, the DVD-Rs that now show up as simply folders used to show up as a disc.
    Very frsutrating. They're not copy protected discs, just recordings of programmes I've worked on (I'm trying to assemble a show reel).
    Any suggestion would be most appreciated.

  • Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

    First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
    I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
    Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
    Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
    The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
    Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
    Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
    I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
    Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

    Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

  • When i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

    when i burn videos to a dvd-r disc it works on my macbook but not on a windows/pc or my dvd player. How can i make it work on all the above and not just a mac product?

    Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.
