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

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 to play dvds in itunes.

how to play dvds in itunes.

iTunes does not play video DVDs. If you want to play video DVDs on your computer, you need to use a DVD player application, something which is bundled with many, though not all, computers. You cannot stream a video DVD to your Apple TV with such a player, if that's your intent. If you want to play movies on your Apple TV, you need to purchase or rent them from the iTunes Store.

How to play DVD movie and video on Blackberry

This guide is mainly about how to rip DVD and convert video to BlackBerry Storm. First, you should know what video format is BlackBerry Storm supports.
Because DVD has CSS copyright protection, we need a program to rip DVD and convert video for BlackBerry Storm. The tool we use is BlackBerry Converter Suite, it includes two programs: DVD to BlackBerry Storm Converter and BlackBerry Storm Video Converter. This program not only supports BlackBerry Storm, but also BlackBerry Curve, BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Bold series.
It supports audio and video format as follow:
Video: DVD, ISO, AVI, MPEG, MKV, MP4, MP4-AVC, M4V, WMV, MOV, 3GP, 3G2, MPG, FLV, ASF, VOB
Audio: WMA, M4A, MP3, AAC, AC3, WMA
For more info about this BlackBerry Converter Suite, you can refer to here.
And here is the free download link, about 12.4 MB.
Now, let’s start the guide about converting DVD and Video to BlackBerry Storm.
Step1, Download and install the BlackBerry Storm converter, and then run it.
Step2. Load DVD into the software by clicking “Add DVD file”.
Here we can load three kinds of DVD's:
1. Real DVD, just put the DVD in your DVD drive and click load DVD, (you can find it by clicking the triangle on the right of 'load file' button.)
2. DVD ISO image, you can amount your ISO files in the daemon tools and then load the virtual DVD drive.
3. A DVD folder, sometimes you may store the DVD folder in your hard drive, it appears like "Video_TS" "Audio_TS" folders. You can load it by clicking the "load DVD folders" button.
Step3. Select Profile, Subtitle, Audio, output directory setting
After you load DVD into the software, click the Profile drop-down list to select the proper format according to your BlackBerry Type, this guide is mainly about how to convert DVD and video to BlackBerry Storm, so we select the “BlackBerry Storm series(*.mp4)” profile.
Regular DVD movies usually have several subtitles such as English, French, German, etc. You can select one you prefer. You can also delete the subtitle by selecting “No Subtitle”. Selecting Audio is the same. If you want to join all your DVD files into one video file, please select the option named “Merge into one file”. For more advanced setting, you can open the setting panel by clicking “Setting”.
Step4. Start the conversion
After all things done, you can click the “Start” to begin the conversion; it will take about 30 minutes for converting a regular two hours DVD movie. When the conversion finished, click “find target” to located the converted video on your computer, connect your BlackBerry Storm to computer, and then copy the video to your BlackBerry memory card, that’s all. Then you can enjoy your favorites DVD movies on your BlackBerry Storm.
For converting video to BlackBerry Storm, you can click “Video to BlackBerry” to run the BlackBerry Movie Converter, the operation steps are similar to DVD to BlackBerry Converter, So I’m not repeat here. But I want to add some tips to the BlackBerry Movie Converter.
1. The Video to BlackBerry Converter supports batch conversion, so you can add multiple video files at one time.
2. The Video to BlackBerry Converter embeds powerful video editing functions, you can use it to cut video, trim video, crop video, and you can even add a watermark to the video.
3. The Video to BlackBerry Converter can also help you convert video file to MP3, WMA, AAC, etc audio, so you can set it as your BlackBerry ringtone.

STOP.....WHAT DOES "HOW TO CONVERT DVD MOVIE AND SET THEM ON THE IPOD" HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS DISCUSSION FORUM?
This is very simple:
THe 5G IPOD is designed to seamsleslly play video acquired from the ITUNES music store. What does that mean? It means that if you get the video from the Itunes music store it should work, and if it does not work, you then post the relevant question in the ITUNES discussion forum.
If you want to rip DVD's, by all means, search in websites like www.videohelp.com, or search in google. If you do not find the answer there, then search here.
This particular question has been ASKED countless times and the last time I checked the forum was called Using Your 5th Generation IPOD", not "How do I get XYZ type video to play on the IPOD" nor "How do I use ABC program to rip, convert, a DVD"?
Have you checked first the video specs of the video ipod? What formats, codecs, etc? before posting your question here?
Don't get me wrong, we are here to help, but it is a little bit irritating to see newcomers post questions without having searched for the answers first, specially on a topic that has been addressed so many times as this one

How to play DVDs in Quicktime Pro

I recently purchased QT, and QTPro. I was trying to transfer DVDs to my 60GB Video ipod, but I cannot even open any movie in Quicktime. Now my goal is just to get a DVD to play in quicktime. I choose file->open file, and select the drive my video is in, and there are three folders, JACKET_P, VIDEO_TS, AUDIO_TS, and the only one with anything in it is the VIDEO, but I open it and nothing is listed unless I change the "files of type" (prompt on bottom of open dialog box)from movies to all files. When all files are listed, I get a bunch of VTS_## files (and they are either VOB or BUP type), and a VIDEO_TS file, and it is an IFO file. If I choose the last one, I get the error message -2048: the file is not a movie file, and the same happens for all the files. I hope you can shed some light on my problem. [QTPro is registered, my PC does meet all the requirements, and I have tried numerous DVDs. If I right-click on the movie in windows explorer, and choose properties, then autoplay, I am given the option of what I would like to use to autoplay the movie. QT is not listed, nor can I browse.]

I don't think I've seen Apple or anyone else advertises QuickTime as being able to play DVDs, so I'm not sure why you assumed that it would. To answer the original posters question, I'm not particularly familiar with how to do it under Windows, but it is most certainly possible to convert video from DVDs to a format that can be played on the iPod. There are several tutorials around the web that will tell you how to do it step-by-step.
(BTW, Apple has this to say about DVD playback in QuickTime:
"Can the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component play back DVDs?
The MPEG-2 Playback Component can play back MPEG-2 files on non-encrypted DVDs. Professionally produced, commercial DVDs (such as Hollywood movies) are usually encrypted with special anti-piracy software, called Content Scramble System (CSS). In order to view these DVDs, decryption software is required and is included in DVD players. But decryption software is not included in QuickTime or the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component.")

How to play dvd-audio or dvd-a discs on iMac?

How do I go about playing dvd-audio encoded discs on my iMac? I have been unsuccessful in finding a decoder that will recognize this format. I don't want to invest in ripper software unless I KNOW it will read and convert this format. Many thanks.

I can play my DVD Audio discs on my MacBook Pro. On all my DVD Audio discs it shows DVD Audio and Dolby Digital. When I insert a DVD Audio disc the DVD player opens and plays the disc. Rou will only get Dolby Digital sound quality though and not DVD Audio sound quality.

How to play DVD on ipad2

I am not too computer savvy. Can someone help me into getting to play DVDs on iPad 2 16gb

You can't, directly. If the DVDs are home movies or otherwise not copy protected (as commercial video DVDs almost always are), you can use a converter such as Handbrake on your computer to convert the DVD into a file which you can then sync to the iPad by using iTunes.

How to play DVD without menus?

Hello, I'd like to burn a video clip that I cut in FCE onto a DVD without having to use iDVD and without using any menus. Basically, I want the video to play immediately (once I put it in a DVD player. Any ideas?

Hi
without having to use iDVD and without using any menus.
A. No movie editor FC E or P - or - iMovie can deliver what's needed to make a DVD
without any program preparing the needed code - sort of .mpeg2
B. DVDs without menu can be done in several ways with eg
• Roxio Toast™ - that can do this without any faking what so ever
• iDVD - but You have to fake part of it

How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (autoplay) 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 dropzone (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". Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
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.

How to play DVD from .IFO file

Hello everyone,
When I was in another OS (:p), I was able to have the root of a DVD (VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS), and by selecting the .IFO file in the VIDEO_TS, I was able to watch the entire DVD with all the options and etc.
Is it possible to do it with VLC or Mplayer or other application with 1 single click without having to go to the terminal? (I am aware you can do it with mplayer but by going to the terminal)
Thanks
Regards

How to play DVD burned on to surperdrive on a DVD player?

Ok I burned a slideshow on to a DVD-R Disc, using a Mac superdrive and can view it on my macbook air, can I view it on a DVD player?

If you’re able to view it in the DVD Player on the Mac, you’ll be able to view it in a standalone player.
If you burned it as a data DVD, you can’t.

How to play DVDs with QT??

I can't watch DVDs with QuickTime! When the DVD should open, QT says that it can't open it. I hate that! It's so annoying!! Why doesn't it open them!? Someone please answer if you know why!

Hi, Donny,
Sorry, but if you're referring to a commercial DVD, those are copy-protected. Breaking the copy protection is illegal in the US, so discussing ways of doing it are not allowed here (since the US courts have been holding in some cases that even discussing in print such cracking may be illegal). If you're outside the US where such de-encryption is legal (though it's up to you to make sure that your use of the material is legal), search around the net and you'll find places that can provide tools for de-encrypting the files for use.

How to play DVD-Audio with Mac mini?

I tried to search the forums but didn't find any answers...
Mini is my only machine on living room I'm using for music, videos etc.
Apple's DVD Player won't even open the disc, but says it's "invalid format".
VLC does open the disc, but only outputs 2ch stereo in dolby surround I think.
I have an DVD-A disc with DTS 6.1 ES mix.
Thank you for any help!

Got a partial solution by ripping the DVD with MactheRipper and then opening with Apple's DVD Player. This of course means that I have to burn a copy or keep the ripped version on my hard disk...
