HELP!!! HD DVD can't play with DVD PLAYER

Made a DVD with final cut pro from Sony HDV camcorder, play well on Macbook pro but can not play on regular DVD PLAYER

That shouldn't surprise you. DVD players can play DVDs, which are standard definition. They will not play HD DVD discs. For that you need a Mac or one of the (now obsolete) Toshiba HD DVD players.
Essentially, you have three options for delivering video on optical disc.:
DVD: standard definition content only. Finalized disc will play in DVD players and most computers with DVD drives and player software installed.
HD DVD: an obsolete format that was abandoned by its developers after losing out to Blu-ray. HD DVDs use the same DVD-5 discs as DVD, but will play HD content when played in an HD DVD player (none currently being made) or in later model Mac computers. HD DVD discs will NOT play in DVD players.
Blu-ray: Can play Blu-ray discs and DVD discs. Blu-ray can contain both HD and SD content. To create a Blu-ray disc, you'll need Blu-ray authoring software and a Blu-ray burner. To view the disc, you'll need a Blu-ray player. DVD players will not play Blu-ray discs.

Mavericks, iTunes, tv shows are black - can't play with any player

Oh no. I installed Mavericks and now my bought TV shows won't play at all - the iTunes screen only shows a black frame.
QuickTime and VLC both are black as well. It's very strange.
Is there an easy way, without having to do a wipe and reinstall, to fix this?
Thanks!

The message is from Microsoft Windows and says "iTunes has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working. Windows will close this program and notify you if a solution is available". I only get this when I try to play the TV programs or videos I have in my library. The songs play fine.
I don't know why I get the other message when I open iTunes (about the iTunes store). But I just click on OK and i goes away.

I have a Macbook Air (july 2012) with OS X 10.8.3 installed. I have dvds with .vob files and have Quicktime Version 10.2 (603.12). I can't play the DVDs. Thereare some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help

I have a Macbook Air (july 2012) with OS X 10.8.3 installed. I have dvds with .vob files and have Quicktime Version 10.2 (603.12). I can't play the DVDs. There are some features of QT that I like, e.g. precise frame selection and save as .png file-help. Am I missing some Apple software? I thought QT for Mountain Lion could convert the .vob files - is there some setting that I have missed?
Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

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)

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.

If it contains Windows software, you need to use Windows, CrossOver Mac, or Wine. If not, it depends on the file types it contains.

Ask the store for a local Macintosh Users Group / Club... maybe someone there can help you. You might check pawn shops in the area for a machine that has a full set of disks. Apple will sell/mail you a set. I don't know of anyplace to legitimately download them... For what its worth any commercial (e.g. full retail version) install of OS X on disk should work for your machine.

IMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's

iMac 2008 OS10.9.1 external dvd won't play movie DVD's. Other DVD/CD's are recognized.
My internal DVD/CD p-layer/burner stopped working 3 years ago like many other iMacs did.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is all red because I am ******!

I have discovered, no thanks to Samsung techs, what the problem is, and it might be revealing for others, as well. It seems that DVD Player, which is the app Apple provides in OS x for (naturally) playing videos, doesn't work with external drives if the computer has an internal drive – even when, as in my case, the internal drive is dead.
I have learned, however, of the existence of a couple of alternative, free applications that run video and audio disks with external optical drives, and one of them, at least (VLC), seems to be widely acclaimed. Does anyone know whether bypassing DVD Player could be a bad idea? There were some gripes from one or two reviewers about awkwardness with playing audio DVDs with iTunes, but I'm not sure what they meant when they said that you have to click on individual items in a selection. Would that mean, for example, having to click on each movement of a Mozart trio? That I couldn't play an entire album's contents of another kind of music without clicking on each song?
Getting the internal optical drive replaced would be prohibitive, even if the parts could be obtained, so I guess I'm stuck trying to deal with the external drive I have and finding the best replacement for DVD Player that I can find. The interesting thing is that the drive works beautifully with a MacBook Air I tried it with, so I guess that is because the Air doesn't have an internal drive?
Wouldn't you think that Samsung techs would know all this? The one I spoke to told me to make sure that my system preference for CDs and DVDs was set to open automatically with DVD Player and sent me all kinds of FAQs, plus a way to get an RMA number for a return. Not a word about difficulties with Macs having an existing internal drive. And all after spending a very long time talking with me about what was going on, what the error message was, and so on. I guess the message hasn't gotten to them.
I hope this information will be helpful to someone.

How do I burn dvd that will play in dvd player

How do I burn a DVD that will play in DVD player for my TV? Example, iPhoto images, Utube images, etc.

If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

DVD will not play in dvd player

Hi,
I created a dvd in dvdpro and put into my dvd player and it says it can not play my dvd. Is there some sort of setting that I missed?

You misunderstand. You most likely created and burned an HD DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
iMovie will only build and burn standard DVDs so of course it will work.
Drew put up a link to another thread where this is discussed is excruciating detail. Read through it and you should be on you way to addressing your problem.

What format shiould i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

what format should i burn dvd in to play in blueray player? Using MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake

MacX DVD Ripper Pro and Handbrake
Neither is suitable for burning DVDs or BluRay media. They are DVD rippers/converters, not DVD authoring tools. Handbrake doesn't produce any format suitable for DVD Authoring. And while MacDVD Ripper can create .mov files even that's not a guarantee the file can be used for DVD authoring. You need DVD Authoring software like Roxio Toast to burn DVDs or BluRay disks.
Most BluRay players can play both standard def DVDs and high def BluRay disks. Which kind do you want to burn? And what exactly is your source media (video) that you want to burn?
And if you want to burn BluRay disks, you need a BluRay burner.

Error -43 when try playback on win7 64bits over the network QT that recide MacPro osx 10.5 however i can play with VLC player, This happend when the QT is inside a Folder with name longer 8 chars other files has no problem with long names just the QT

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.
