Can I play avchd discs on a Mac

Can I play avchd discs on a Mac?

You will need to get a bit of help for your iMac to playback AVCHD files. No native support for AVCHD playback.
Get VLC and you can open most .mts or .m2ts files.
iMovie/Final Cut will also let you import AVCHD.

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!
Thanks!

How can I play .avi movies on my mac?With difficulty.
Quicktime pro doesn't do it.Generally speaking, no -- not without third-party components.
If there's some kind of patch or something, please give me the url/link!Try Perian (free). It contains a collection of popular PC codecs which may or may not support the specific files you want. If not, you have to determine what particular codec is required, find out if it is available, and then download/install it. (Not all AVI audio/video file formats have been ported for Mac use.) Even then, if it is a proprietary codec and you want to be able to convert to/from that format, you may have to purchase/register the component.

IDVD CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV ?

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP
CAN I PLAY A DVD FROM MY MAC ON TO MY TV BY CONNECTING IT SOME HOW ?

Hi
Does Your Mac have a S-video out ? Some does.
The way to connect isn't easy or straight forward - I use a S-VHS VCR in between
and now one can buy a DVD-player for less than $75-50 I wonder if it's really
worth the hazzle.
Playback from iMovie via FireWire and an Analog/Digital box to TV is one way
but then the DVD has to be converted to streamingDV.
iDVD can't deliver out to FireWire
DVD-player not so either
And PLEASE ! Don't shout (using capital letters = Shouting on e-media)

How can I play a dvd on my Mac and display it through Apple TV

I want to use my DVD drive on my mac to play back movies through my apple tv2. I notice that on my iPad, iPhone, iTunes on my computer all have the AirPlay option to display the video on my TV through Apple TV. I do not want to burn my DVD onto my Mac and play through iTunes becasue its a hassle.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
One thing you can do is to play the DVD in your Mac using DVD Player instead of iTunes, and then, turn on AirPlay Mirroring to stream your computer's display to your Apple TV > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
If your Mac isn't compatible with AirPlay Mirroring, use a third-party app like AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com This is the only option, because the Apple TV isn't compatible with discs
Logical but it won't work - DVD player output will be a grey checkerboard pattern.
Apple apps prevent Airplay of DVD content at low level presumably for some copy protection reason.
VLC player is believed to work.

Can we play bluray disc in macbook pro

I am planning to buy a macbook pro. Can we play blue ray disc on the macbook. If no, is there any other mac model which plays bluray

Dear Mr. Srinivasan
1st-this forum is for Mac Pro (the big desktop Machine,not portable)-a common mistake.
2nd-no. due to licencing/technical issues and stubbornness on Apple's part, that's the answer. You can try with VLC or 3rd party software, plus an external Blu-Ray drive, but out of the box, no.
all the best to you

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

Can't play movie from gallery on mac

I can not play movies from my gallery on my macbook. These movies are imported from Canon A630 to iPhoto. In iPhoto I can play them well. All of them are published to my mobileme gallery using iPhoto. Then I open this gallery in Safari on my macbook to check if everything was published. And when I try to play a movie QuickTime tells me that it needs some additional software and directs me to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.htmlos=OSX&ctype=696d6463&cs ubtype=4d4a5047
I visited this page earlier and installed divx, xvid, recode raw and ensharpen codecs. Also I have Perian and Flip4mac installed codecs. So my main question is: why can't I play movies from gallery using safari if in the same time I can view them well from iPhoto?
Playing of movies published with iMovie works well. But this does not matter to me since I want videos to be published in events with photos. If iPhoto has functionality to publish videos so it must work! Also I must mention that videos published with iPhoto can be played without problems from my PC with safari+quick time for windows. But under my Mac none of Safari, Firefox and Camino can view videos from my gallery. So I think problem is in QuickTime.

Anybody?????? Im using web premium CS5.5 it seems ludicrous that by default it lets every website play content on my computer but regards my own content as a security risk and wont let me rectify the problem!

Can we play bluray disc on macbook pro 2011?

i am keen to know that can we play bluray movies on macbook pro??

No.
Different format... http://www.blu-ray.com/info/
"While current optical disc technologies such as DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM rely on a red laser to read and write data, the new format uses a blue-violet laser instead, hence the name Blu-ray."

Can you buy a disc version of Mac OS X Lion?

I saw that you can download OS X Lion from the Mac App Store, but I like the idea of having a hardcopy of the software just in case I need to reinstall the operating system...

No. But you can burn one yourself:

Also, Apple has announced you will be able to buy it on USB media for $69 (?) in August.

Once I sync my iPad to my Mac can we play the apps on my mac?

I successfully sync'd my Ipad to my Mac laptop. Now what was the point besides saving any music and apps that may potentially be deleted on the ipad? I thought since I purchased minecraft full version app on my son's ipad for him that I could sync it to my laptop so his sister could join him. It sync'd and I see the app, but it doesn't let me do anything with it. Was there a point to this? I thought they would be able to open the app and use/play it?

No, you can't. The purpose is to have a backup copy of them and provide another way of putting them on other iOS devices.

HT3775 I can't play avi movies on my mac. I don't know what to do!

my friend gave me some regular show seasons, but i can't watch them coz they're avi and they wont let me please help!

The file is send as audio/mpeg and that usually should be sufficient to make Firefox select a plugin that handles the file.<br />
Probably a MIME type as application/x-mplayer2 will also work to select a WMP compatible player as most users on Windows won't have QT.
Does QT work otherwise correctly for you when playing embedded content?

Do others with a Mac also report that it isn't working?
Is there only a problem with users on a Mac or with other platforms (Windows/Linux) as well?
You can also try to ask advice at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum if it is your own website (hadn't released before that that could be the case).
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.<br />
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.

How can I play mpg files on my mac or ipad?

Can I extend Quick Time to play files with the extension mpg? I don't want to have to convert all my files and I'd rather not have to use a different player.
I'm sure I've played these files on an older mac. Will Quick Time recognise them if I just rename the extensions?
Message was edited by: Beeps57

Quicktime Player will easily play MPEG-1 and MPEG-4 files (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3775). However, MPEG-2 files (typically from DVDs) are not supported natively (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3526).
The easy solution is to use a trusted 3rd party application that can play them. One of the best is VLC player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html).
One way to extent QuickTime player is to purchase QuickTime Pro for QuickTime 7 (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/). The best other way used to be to install Perian (http://perian.org/) but is is no longer supported. They however recommend "niceplayer" (https://code.google.com/p/niceplayer/) froom the Perian web site.
