How to play a bluray dvd

I have an external bluray player connected to my computer but I can't figure out how to play it.

I have Toast 10 Titanium without the Blu-ray plugin. Will I need that to be able to play a disc?
Have no proof - But my wild guess is that it is needed.
My dilemma is what to buy.
• Cheap BD-player - tried to test my DVD as store - but they just sell non was connected
to be able to test. NO DEAL
• PlayStation3 - I know this works - but I have not found any game of interest
so it's a high price for just a BD-player (althoug very Good one)
(if I buy this - day after PlayStation4 will be released with lot's of I want as standard)
Something like the Myst serie would be of interest
Speed and shoot them up - only turns my stomach.
• BD-burner/player - not seen one to test - but may be it will be this
So I'll wait till christmas and see - in no Hurry what so ever.

  • My HP Mediasmart will not play my BluRay DVD's I have BluRay drive

    My HP desktop will not play my latest Bluray DVD's.  It will play my older Bluray's but not my new ones.
    I put in a new Bluray disk.  The Mediasmart window pops up and asks me if I want to  - Check for updates.  It doesn't matter if I check yes or no it won't go any farther and play the movie.  It freezes.  Then when I push play the window flickers and then the same mini window asks the same question - Do you want to check or updates?  No matter what I click nothing happens.  I push play and the whole thing starts all over again.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Mine is doing the samething and like to know what to do.

  • How to "Play All" in DVD Studio Pro

    Hello: I'm putting a dvd together that has a collection of short films on it, and I'm listing each film on the menu, but I also wanted to add a "Play all Movies" option to the menu.  I know how to create the button, but I'm not figuring out how to make the target of the button all of the movies.  Do I have to link all of them together in final cut first and make a single movie file out of them, or is there and easier way to make them all play in dvdstudio?
    Thanks...Mark

  • How to play 2-channel dvd aud

    I have the creative lab dvd audio player and it plays the multi-channel tracks fine (although the volume is lower compared to playing from the media player). But I cannot play the 2 channel tracks (some dvd audio discs offer a higher resolution on 2 channel tracks). Configuring the speaker settings to 2/2. only seems to downmix the multi-channel tracks rather than playing the 2 channel tracks. Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Hi Randall,Seems like you have a label with a space between 2 words. This is not possible. Is purple corner a label name? If yes rename your label purpleCorner instead. Same with blue spin.
    So is blue spin your button or another symbol or what.
    If you have a symbol this way:
    Stage/symbol1/symbol1a/button
    Assuming symbol1a is an animation with a label named 'start', and the main timeline with a label named 'go', I would use in composition ready
    sym.getSymbol("symbol1").getSymbol("symbol1a").$("button").click(function(){
    sym.getSymbol("symbol1").getSymbol("symbol1a").play("start");
    sym.play("go");
    Hope this helps.

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - only free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    only You can buy from Apple is
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.
    AppleMan1958
    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • How do I burn a DVD on my new iMac to play on external DVD player

    I have a new iMac at work (3.5 GHz Intel Core i7), running on OS X Yosemite, and I'm trying to figure out how to burn a DVD that can be played on an external DVD player. I have a disc burner connected, but just noticed that iDVD (the way I used to burn video files) is no longer part of my installed applications.
    Thanks for any help.
    JC

    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Softwareor eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    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.
    If you're creating a slideshow in iPhoto and want to add it to an iDVD project export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • How can I watch a DVD playing on my iMac on my TV using Apple TV?

    How can I watch a DVD playing on my iMac on my TV using Apple TV?

    You can't. The only way is to transfer the movie to your computer and import to iTunes (making sure it is compatible) and either use home-sharing or airplay the movie off an ios device.

  • How do I separate short movie clips loaded from my digital camera to iPhoto 11 at the same time pics are downloaded and how do I get those video clips to a dvd that will play on a dvd player

    When loading pics to iphoto 11 from my camera, occassionaly it will include some video clips with the description of Movxxxx. I wonder if someone could direct me to some straight forward instructions as to how to transfer these video (movie) clips, which now exist in iphoto, to a dvd that will play on a dvd player as one might  expect to see a video play, including the audio that was captured at the time of filming.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer this novice.

    You need to open iMovie and it will have a event library called iPhoto Videos, click on that and the videos will load in the window next to it, then you make a new project in iMovie.  Then open iDVD and make a new project then import the movies to the program then burn to a DVD..

  • How to play a DVD in QuickTime  first of many questions

    Hi, can someone please explain how to play a movie from DVD in QuickTime.
    I go to "Ablage" (don't know english word for that) -> open file -> klick on some *.VOB and klick play. But the Movie is very slow and I have no sound.

    I also can open *.VOBs from my HD with QuickTime and convert them. They just have no sound and also I can't trimm them in QuickTime.
    Since you already have the MPEG2 component, recommend you simply download the free MPEG Streamclip application. It can also load/convert single VOB or entire Title VOB series and allows you to trim, adjust volume, brightness, contrast, and/or saturation levels as well. Quite a handy application whether used alone or in conjunction with QT Pro filters and/or preset options.

    Hi
    No Menu on DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

  • Im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5

    im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

  • How to play dvd on tv

    Have the correct adaptor and lead and can play commercially produced dvd on Mac but tv only shows Mac start-up screen. How do I get the dvd to play on tv please?

    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mmstereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there are no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports. Each would take a different adapter to connect with the TV.
    If you have the Late 2008model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that can combine video and audio to HDMI. if you have a Mini DVI the Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio

  • HT5517 how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    how to play dvd on my computer on apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community Jorge.
    Firstly you will need your Mac to support Mirroring...
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.
    AirPlay Mirroring from a Mac also requires a fairly robust network.
    Then you will need to use a 3rd party DVD player such as VLC since the Apple DVD Player software doesn't permit AirPlay Mirroring.

  • How do i get my imovie dvd to play on my dvd player

    I have made a movie on my imovie, and it will play on my macmini and my laptop but when I put it in my dvd player it says disc error.  How do I get it to play on all dvd players?

    Send it to iDvd (or other DVD creation program, like Toast) to make a DVD viewable in your DVD player. Your iMovie that is stored on a DVD is, as you've found out, readable by computer, but doesn't have the DVD wrapper to play in a DVD player.
