I want to play a dvd on my Macbook and have it displayed on tv using my Apple tv

How do I play a dvd on my Macbook and have it displayed on the tv using Apple tv?

You can't directly.  ATV has no DVD drive.  If you can get AirPlay working (and keep it working) you can use a third party DVD player like VideoLan to play the DVD on the computer and use AirPlay to display the video on the screen.

  • 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

    You can also use airplay with an IOS device

    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 to play a dvd on a macbook pro with retina display

    I recently bought a Macbook pro with retina display and was suprised to see that there is no slot to put a dvd or cd into. For the amount paid i feel this is ridiculous. However wish to seek a solution, does anyone know of how to solve this problem? Thankyou

    Purchase an external DVD drive and attach it to your rMBP.  Or you can purchase the Apple model specifically made for it:

    My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

    You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

  • 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.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    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.

  • I am trying to play a DVD on my MacBook Pro and transmit it to my TV (use my TV as the monitor) utilizing a VGA cable and adapter for the Mac but the only image that shows up on the TV is the MacBook wall paper, any ideas on how I can transmit to my TV?

    you are probably seeing the extended display.. to see ur main display go to pefrences then display steeings and turn mirroring on.
    this will display ur mbp main screen. good luck.

  • 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.

  • I have an ipad 2 and want to put my dvds onto the ipad. i have converted the dvd into an mpeg4 file but cannot get it to open in i tunes does anyone know how i do this?

    i have an ipad 2 and want to put my dvds onto the ipad. i have downloaded handbrake and converted the file into mpeg4 file but i cannot get the file to open in itunes

    I have the same problem , i've converted my videos to mp4 , by using different programmes and tried to open them in itunes but it didnt .
    Some people suggested the following although it didnt help me , it might help you
    One suggested to paste the videos that you want in automatically add to itune (  go to your music folder m then click on itunes , then itunes media , and you will find it there )
    Others suggested to o to the ontrol panal , then programmes and features m then lick on quick time (. Or itunes) then Change then repair
    If it didnt help. And you find another method m please let me know
    Thank you

    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 *=)

    Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.

  • This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

    Hi
    This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
    Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than  year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

    Region Code 4:
    Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
    Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

    Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)
