HT204291 Checkerboard pattern with Airplay under DVD Player.

Airplay is working fine, that is, until I start it up under DVD Player.Then I immediately get a checkerboard pattern, until I stop Airplay. The movie runs fine without Airplay. Everything outside the DVD is mirrored fine.
I use a MacBook, AppleTV, and Mountain Lion.

It has nothing to do with actual DRM on the disc.
Apple are simply assuming anything played via DVD Player might be protected and preventing the screen area from being sent via Airplay properly.
You may find other media players such as VLC will work ok.

Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

Does the new imac come with a cd/dvd player/burner?

It's $80.00. You can buy other externals for less, I think, but only the Apple one will work with Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows and any other applications that will only work with an "internal" optical drive.
If this isn't important for you, then explore less expensive alternatives. Check out OWC for example.

Isymphony 19" LCD tv with built in dvd player

I just setup my Isymphony tv with built in dvd player. I put in multiple dvd's in the player and all came back saying they were bad discs even though they were fine. Any advice on the issue?

THe dvd player sounds like it is malfunctioning...
The problems with combo untis like yours is once the disc player dies, it really isn't cost effective to repair them.

Very strange problem with sound in dvd player

Hi
I have a strange issue which I am cannot resolve. I recently purchased season 2 of NYPD Blue on dvd, region 1 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008YGRR/qid=1151702794/sr=1-3/ref=sr13/103-1409159-4182204?s=dvd&v=glance&n=130). The season is spread over several discs. The region of the dvds is the same as that of the superdrive on my 1.25 factory spec 15” pb running 10.4.6.(always has been region1) On playing the dvds in dvd player, the sound is very quiet, and you can hear a slight hissing noise (picture is fine). However, if I set the balance of the speakers in system preferences to the left (as far as I can) the sound becomes louder and the hissing disappears. Hence the sound is normal, other that the fact that it is unbalanced. The same happens if I set the balance to the right. Hence the hiss is only there when the balance is set to the centre or around it i.e. slightly to the left or right. This problem is true of all the dvds in the set.
Fair enough, the nypd discs are defective.
However, I then played them in a standalone dvd player without any fancy sound settings etc and no problems at all. Hence I then thought that the problem was with my pb - the only different thing I have done lately is use handbrake to put some of my other dvds (not these NYPD ones) on my iPod, so I thought that handbrake had done something (although I don’t know see how it could have done anything). However, today I tried some other commercial dvds in my pb (produced by the same company) and they sounded fine as has been the case for over two years. Hence, there is something about the nypd blue dvds which affects the quality of the sound output in my pb when the balance is centred. However, whatever this is it doesn’t seem to bother standalone players, nor is it something that anoth of my other dvds have.
Any ideas on what exactly is going on here, as it has me stumped.
(I don't have any other season of nypd blue, so I can't see if these have the same problem as well.)

Audio playback problem with HP mediasmart DVD player

Hi I have just set up my computer and linked it to my tv with a HDMI lead, I have been able to toggle between my pc speakers and my tv speakers on programmes such as windows media player and other HP mediasmart programmes but when I use HP mediasmart DVD player - a DVD will allow me to change from pc speakers to HDMI but I cannot change to HDMI (TV) sound when playing a Blu-Ray disk. I have tried changing my defult to HDMI and its just not working when playing BLU-RAY disks. anyone got any ideas? i have all the latest updates (running windows 7)

I have a ThinkPad T61p which I got one year ago. About one month ago the following problem suddenly appeared: When I want to play a DVD with WinDVD, I get the message "no valid Drive/Disc Found". When I eject and then start the DVD again, it takes about 4 minutes to start the DVD. Everything is very slow, the movie is croppy and I can often hear the laser head moving back and forward. I don't have any problems with other media like CDs or self printed DVDs with no region code and copy protection. I also have no problems with another DVD drive of the same kind (I have a DVD/CD-ROM drive). I tried to solve the problem with the troubleshooter (I have Windows XP), but nothing helped. My settings seem to be all right. Could anyone help me with this problem?

HT204291 no video using Airplay from DVD

I can see my desktop and a video window appears on both my MBP (2012 model) and on my TV but the image of the DVD I'm trying to play shows a checkerboard pattern. The audio passes through just fine.

Qosmio G30-E10: No Playback of DVD`s with "Toshiba HD DVD Player"

Hi all,
If I try to playback a normal DVD (not a HD-DVD) with the Toshiba HD-DVD Player Software, I get the following message from the HD-DVD Player:
"This player has no DVD Playbackfunction. Please try an appropriate application for DVD playback"
HD-DVD Drive has current firmware. HD-DVD Player is on current patchlevel 4.20.16.
DVD-Playback with InterVideo WinDVD works fine!
Notebook is a Qosmio G30-E10, with Vista Ultimate (Factory standard).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Sincerely
Uwe

Hello
Have you ever ask yourself why Toshiba install two players on this HD-DVD notebook? Probably not.
With short words: HD-DVD player is designed for playing HD-DVD movies only. For watching usual DVD movies use DVD player. For this purposes use WinDVD player.
Bye and enjoy your great Qosmio notebook.

Creative T5900 with creative slimline dvd player rocks!

I bought a creative Inspire T5900 that came bundled with a creative slimline dvd player for SGD$249. I connected everything up, i.e.,the 5.1 output from the dvd player to the speaker set. I test the system with a dvd with dolby digital audio source, everything sounds cool! The front speaker is very clear during movie playback (like what the specs stated), the bass is just nice (on the softer range type), surround speakers is a bit too loud but can be fine tuned with the dvd player, stereo playback is expectionally clear and powerful!
The creative dvd player is too a good buy. It got also everything u need in a dvd player!
It comes with mpeg4 playback, internal 5.1 channel decoder, digital and optical out for connecting to external decoder, various sound option to choose from, etc...
I cant believe such a budget system can give such quality sound! 2 thumbs up for this system...

keetech,
Glad to hear that you enjoy the Fest.

HDTV with built in DVD player

I am looking to purchase a flat screen hdtv with a built in dvd player to hang on my bedroom wall. I am opting for the built in dvd player to save space. Does any company make one in which the dvd player is for hd dvds? Or a blueray?

Problems with Superdrive and DVD Player

The first problem is that for a long time, I haven't been able to eject disks by pushing the eject button (on the keyboard, in DVD player, etc) - I have to manually drag the DVD/CD on the desktop to the trash can/eject, or click the eject button in Finder. I know the button itself works fine, because I can eject disks in my Ubuntu Linux partition.
The second problem is that sometimes, while playing DVDs through DVD Player, the Player and/or the DVD itself in the drive freezes up. I can't quit the program, I can't eject the disk, I have to reboot to kill the program and eject the disk. This has happened on random DVDs (only, not any CDs), both that I own and that I received from NetFlix. The disks themselves are not bad, as they will run fine in VLC.
Any help with either of these problems? For what it's worth, the problems both started well before I partitioned the hard drive to install Linux.

Nope, didn't have a clue about that. Had to get my hard drive replaced, but everything's working fine now and holding the eject button down for a couple of seconds works.
Thanks!

HT204291 Need help with AirPlay on my apple tv it won't AirPlay videos only music

Hi there I'm having a problem with my apple tv I think im trying to AirPlay a video to the apple tv but when do it is ony playing the music and not the video content please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).

Can´t open some DVD´s in DVD player since I´ve got Lion-there was never such problem under snow Leopard

Can´t play some DVD´s in Apples DVD player, that run well onmy machine(s) before i`ve installed lion. Even if I say in system Preference "when inserting DVD-start DVD player, it starts, but can´t even select the DVD´s. They appear in finder, I can playém e.g. with VLC, but DVD player says "no DVD available"
( My OS is upgraded to 10.7.1)
Can anyone fix it?

In my special case, it seems to be a slowly dying superdrive. Yesterday I´ve got a brand new DVD,which was not readable in my Imac. After some retries the drive simply ejected the disk.
`Cause I do not own a DVD-Player I went to a neighbour, where the dvd played fine. Now I realised after som tries, that my mac does not recognize any of my double density dvd´s. Single density works.
I think I will return my mac to the shop to get a new drive.

Problem with Airplay Mirroring - freezes screen on ATV whilst playing movies

Airplay Mirroring disfunctions when playing movies in Vuze, freezing screen on ATV, leaving sound only. I am using a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion. Has anybody experienced the same please?

AdriHD wrote:
Reason I ask is that I work from home and I've copied all of my DVD's into iTunes.
What I was hoping to achieve would be able to work on the laptop whilst the movies stream (not on the laptop panel) but directly to the ATV?
If you are saying that you have converted video to AppleTV compatible h264 (discussing converting commercial DVDs is prohibited by Apple's rules) and added it to iTunes, you can do what you want without using Airplay at all.
With both AppleTV and Mac on the same network, and Home Sharing enabled on both (for AppleTV 2/3) you can simply stream from the computer to AppleTV under AppleTV's computers icon. If you have a silver AppleTV1 you need to pair it to your iTunes library to achieve the same.
While your Mac does not support Airplay mirroring, iTunes has supported video Airplay to AppleTV 2/3 for a long time - it is different to mirroring and just pushes the stream rather than AppleTV pulling it.
Apple have blocked Airplay of DVD Player output via Airplay mirroring which is pretty poor.
For general desktop mirroring you might want to look at Airparrot:

Sky block Airplay from iOS, not sure if Apple allow blcoking of Airplay of certain things from the Mac in the same way as DVD player.

NEW Satellite A505 - Blu-ray won't play on WinDVD or Toshiba DVD player

I purchased a Satellite A505 (Windows 7) with a Blu-ray disc player that was pre-loaded with WinDVD, Toshiba DVD player, and one other player (?) - all this software was added 12/21/2009 (by the manufacturer). When I put in a Blu-ray disc WinDVD stops responding and I have to start the task manager to "end task." The Toshiba player says "media not supported." I used the recommended compatibility settings (Windows XP) and it says "incompatible application." I tried using a Sony Vaio w/ Blu-ray and had no problems with the same disc using WinDVD. I don't know what's wrong (and I'm not super tech savvy) - my settings, my drivers, my hardware... ???
I also downloaded the free trial of Corel's WinDVD 2010 and it wouldn't play on that either...
*Note - my model number is A505-S6012 but I can't find this as an existing model on any of the Toshiba sites. It was delivered to the store around 1/4/10, so it's brand new. The A505-S6990 has most of the same features though.

jacuielaura,
I had the exact same issue with the Win DVD BD that was preloaded on my A505-S6014 when I purchased it. I myself also downloaded the Win DVD 2010 free trial and it did not work. Reason being is that they are only allowing people to trial the DVD version of Win DVD 2010 and not the Win DVD BD 2010. I also tried Cyberlink's PowerDVD and it worked but it digitized terribly. So I uninstalled both trials and went to support.toshiba.com and found what I needed to fix it.
I recommend you uninstall the original Win DVD BD version you have and any trial editions you downloaded and follow what I have listed below to fix your problem.
This is only a recommendation. Uninstall and install software at your own risk. If this fix doesn't work for you then you will have to call Toshiba and request a disc to reinstall your original software you uninstalled.
This is how I fixed mine:
Go to Support > Download > then choose your category (Laptop) then your Family (Satellite) then you're model #(A505-6012). Or you can just enter S6012 in the search box and it should bring up a list of all Laptop models with S6012 in them. Choose yours and click Go.
Now from the two drop down lists choose which Operating system: (Windows 7 64 bit) should be what you have, then choose Blu-Ray in the 2nd drop down list.
Download and SAVE these files to your desktop or My Downloads folder so you do not have to search for them again after you reboot.
You should now see this listed:
WinDVD BD for Toshiba for Windows 7 (32/64)(v8.0; 11-05-2009; 176.1M)
Also you will need to download the (Intel Management Engine Interface driver) which is listed in the drop down list under Utility (2nd page):
Intel Management Engine Interface for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v6.0.0.1184; 10-08-2009; 6.39M)
Reboot after each installation even if it doesnt tell you to.
After both downloads have been installed and the OS is completely loaded again, insert a Blu-Ray disc and hopefully it should automatically play.
P.S. When playing Blu-Ray's I turn my power management to Performance. This may also help.
Good luck!
Hailofaguy
