Can a macbook pro play dvds

can a macbook pro play dvds?
all it says online is that you can burn dvds, not about anything else.

Every Mac that has an optical drive can play DVD movies and read DVD data discs. I watch DVDs on my MacBook Pro too

  • Can my macbook pro play blu-rays?

    Can my macbook pro play blu-rays without any extra equiptment purchased?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The built-in SuperDrive can read CDs and DVDs, but not Blu-Rays. You need an external Blu-Ray drive and a specific application to use Blu-Ray discs

  • Can my Macbook Pro play HD-DVD or Blu-Ray?

    While installing Toast 8 onto my Santa Rosa Macbook Pro, the installer asked if I wanted to configure my mac to play Blu-Ray discs. I'm quite curious if my hardware is even capable...

    apparently the toshiba man'fd Xbox 360 external HD-DVD drive (now 179) can work with XP/Vista with a driver
    ...so I would look into Parallels/Bootcamp(free, less convenient) to make that work...not too convenient though

  • Can a Macbook Pro play DVCpro HD without dropping frames?

    Hey All,
    I'm trying to output a 40min DVC Pro Hd 60, 1280x720 video to a projector for a large group. I'm using Quicktime 7.2 at full screen playing back on the second "monitor", but it seems like the video is dropping frames. The playback is stuttering and kind of strobing. This is a new 2.4ghz Macbook Pro with 2gb of Ram. The video is DVC Pro Hd from start to finish.
    Is this to much to ask from a Macbook Pro? Is there another codec with comparable quality that doesn't take overly long to encode that I could use?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated,
    Steve

    Forgot to mention I'm playing the video off of a 7200rpm Lacie firewire 800 drive.

  • Can my macbook pro play 3d videos

    I have a bootcamp partition on my mid 2010 macbook pro 13". when I updated the graphics driver, the nvidia management tool displayed that it could manage my stereoscopic 3d. I wanted to know if my computer could manage 3D if I bought the glasses and IR receiver.
    Thanks,

    The screen is just a screen, it displays whatever the video card says and code fed to it.
    The 3D effect occurs with your eyes, as the glasses force one eyeball to move out of alignment to match the mismatched two patterns on the screen that create the 3D effect.

  • How Good Can The MacBook Pro Play Minecraft and other games like assassins creed?

    Please Answer!

    You shouldn't have any problem running Minecraft; It's Java based and will run on most platforms. I'm running Minecraft without a hitch.
    Assasins Creed? Hmm, depending on your hardware spec i shouldn't see you having a problem.
    I'm running on the 2013 15" Retina, with dedicated graphics chip though; However the Activity Monitor shows that it is using the Iris chipset to run Minecraft.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT1338 can macbook pros play blu-ray dvds

    Can my macbook pro play blu-ray dvds

    Also note that a MacBook Pro 15" Late 2011 has a native resolution of 1680x1050 (16:10) in lieu of the 1920x1080 16:9 Blu-ray output.
    It would be scaled down to 1680x945 to display on the screen.

  • Where can I download a macbook pro install dvd for my Macbook pro 2.2 because i lost mine...

    Where can I download a macbook pro install dvd for my Macbook pro 2.2 because i lost mine...

    I don't think you can actually download the install DVD. If you call Apple they can send you the install DVD for a nominal fee +S&H. You will need to provide them with the serial number for your Mac to see if it's registered to you.

  • My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix.  The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro.  So DVD is ok.  Message says "not permitted" when I click play.  Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • Can Mac Book Pro play Bluray and can i sling that to apple tv?

    Can Macbook pro play Bluray

    It's a DVD SuperDrive, not a Blu Ray! And if you were to plug one in, the OS won't have a clue as to what to do with it. The late lamented Steve Jobs, and Apple thus far, decided not to support the format, hence why you won't see one of those drives in a Mac.
    You CAN get it to (eventually) play, but will have to purchase expensive third-party applications. Beside the expensive external drive. And you probably won't be able to "sling" it to your TV, cause that's precisely what the movie cabal doesn't want you to do.

  • Does my macbook pro play blue ray?

    It plays DVDs, including Dual-layers DVDs but not Blu-Ray.
    For that you would need an external Blu-Ray drive AND some player software.

    Is it best to run Windows 7 in Boot Camp, or would it be better to use VMWare Fusion or similar? I have a MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo (OSX 10.6.8) and I also have a Dell laptop solely because one program that I need to use for work is only available for Windows. I would love to consolidate to my mac but am afraid installing Windows will ruin it!
    It all depends on what your useage of Windows will be, for playing games install it in BootCamp, for word processing, spreadsheets, email. browsing etc a virtual Machne will be fine.
