Can apple tv mirror dvds from a iMac?

Can Apple Tv mirror a dvd from a Imac?

Not rea.
As far as I can tell the OS prevents mirroring of DVD player output and you get a grey checkerboard pattern.  Same via Airparrot.
Is this what you see via mirroring?
I suggested to somone to try playing a DVD via VLC (or other player) and that supposedly worked over mirroring.

  • Why can't I play DVDs from my mac to my Apple TV

    I can't play a DVD from my iMac to my Apple TV, why and what can I do to fix this

    If you own the DVD, why not use HandBrake or something similar to rip to your iTunes library?  Then you WOULD be able to play to your AppleTV with no issues.

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

  • What software is good to burn DVDs from my iMac ?.

    What software is good to burn DVDs from my iMac ?.

    It's what iDVD is for. If you don't have it:
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?

    Can I play music wirelessly from my Imac to my hi fi?
    Chris

    Yes, AUX in jack.  Radio shack may be required to make sure your connectors are compatible.  For example, you may need a standard RCA splitter to mini-RCA.  The mini-RCA (3.5mm) is for the airport express while the dual (red-black) for your AUX in.  Hard to say without seeing the connectors.
    Itunes on Mac sends music to airport express (you select it in iTunes), the airport express sends the music out via the mini-RCA, your CD player auxillary input converts the RCA signal to sound.

    Appletv can't download the library from the iMac though it is able to download from the MacPro.  I select the library and it spins for a while then directs to check connections and network.  Music can be played via Airplay from the iMac so there is some connection however not video.  Any suggestions?

    Can I un-install Yosemite from my iMac and re-install Mountain Lion?

    Sorry to barge in like this but is it because you found it to have it's own way of doing stuff without your control? As i was thinking of doing the same thing because i found Mountain Lion much more user friendly.I know you came for an answer just was searching and came accross your question.
    Hope you find the answer. good luck.
