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.

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 I watch a dvd on my macbook and watch it through apple TV?

    I have a Sony Bravia EX621.  I am trying to use my MacBook Pro (10.6.8)  as a DVD player.  I have a wireless capable modem for my TV.  Can I play DVD's on my TV with this set-up?

    It does, even with Airparrot - my assumption is that Apple block copies of the screen memory for things like iTunes/DVD player at a low level to prevent copying, or because Airplay can be potentially intercepted, converted and stored.

    VLC player should work however.

  • How do I play play a dvd from my mac and send to apple tv

    Just got my Apple tv for my new Imac everything works fine. How do I play a dvd on my mac and send to apple tv

    If you mean a commercial DVD you have bought, then you can't. They are usually copy protected and removing the protection is illegal in most countries, so we cannot help you do that.
    If it is a personal DVD that you own the copyright on, then you can convert it to iPad format using Handbrake. Handbrake will not convert copy protected, commercial DVDs.

  • How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    How can I download a dvd on my mac osx 10.7.4?

    I am assumming these DVDs are your own personal property and are NOT rented or borrowed DVDs.
    Once again, assuming that you own these DVDs, I recommend using Mac DVDRipper Pro to extract the content from your PERSONAL DVDs. I have it installed on my computer and it rips DVD's at maximum speed and uses very little processing power.
    You can find more info. about Mac DVDRipper Pro at the following link...
         http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31118/mac-dvdripper-pro/
    ... About converting the extracted video to a format that can be played on an iPod or iPad, I'll let someone else take a jab at that.

  • 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)
    Yours Bengt W

    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.

  • How do I copy a DVD to my mac, and then trim it to upload clips to YouTube? They are not copyright protected DVDs.

    I am trying to take a DVD (non copyrighted) and be able to add 10 min clips of it to a YouTube Channel. How do I copy that DVD to my Mac and trim the clips I want to upload. Thank you.

    Copy the DVD to your desktop, then:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion or later:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • With Apple TV can I play a DVD on my macbook and have it display on my TV

    I have Apple TV...  have since it came out - but have no clue how to use it.  First question...  can I put a DVD in my macbook and have it display on my TV wirelessly through Apple TV

    With Apple TV you stream content from your iTunes library using homesharing, provided the content is compatible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4352
    You can also use airplay with an IOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4437
    Natively you can rent from iTunes and use a few other services like Netflix (varies by location)
    As stated above you cannot stream a DVD

  • How can I delete EVERY THING off my Mac and have it like new?

    There are sites that I've viewed and programs I have downloaded that I NEED to delete completely from my computer!! Ie: Friends telling me that a program is free and has no viruses, but it does! Sites forwarded that are supposed sfw, but are not!!
    I would like to DELETE EVERY THING off the computer and have it be like new.
    I remember on my Dell PC if I hit f8 or f11 (can't remember which one) a screen would appear and if I chose option "Dell Factory Image Restore" it would DELETE EVERY THING off of the computer and have it like new - as if you just got it from Dell.
    Is there anything like that for Macs?
    Whether it be some where on the computer already?
    Or if it's with the CDs that came with the Mac?
