I wish to play region 1 dvds on my mac and stream them to a UK apple TV

i wish to be able to stream a region 1 dvd(which plays on my mac fine) to my apple tv. when i try dvd player reprts a system error and will only play audio. I assume that this is because of the tv differences but why. I do know about region coding

No, it's because the Apple DVD player blocks the video portion of AirPlay, you'll need to use 3rd party software to play your DVDs such as VLC.

Playing Region 2 DVDs Through External DVD Drive?

I have a brand-new MacBook Pro and I would love to be able to play Region 2 DVDs. Does anyone know if this is possible with an external DVD drive (i.e. setting an external DVD drive to play Region 2 while keeping the internal set to Region 1)?

I do have similar problem, and I undestand that in PCs there is an optional Zone 0 option that let you watch different zone movies, but sims that Apple do not disclose this to users, even this is obsolete, fore some one like a traveler that is unfair since I want to watch DVD when I rent it in other locations.
We should search for how to config the Internal DVD drive to Zone 0!.

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.

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 have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?

You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

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.

Cannot play region 2 DVD

Hi all. Very new to the Mac world. So far I love it:)
The migration from a PC was painfull but I need help with this topic.
I have quite a few DVD's from Greece. I can watch them at my Home ent. system since I was able to unlock my DVD player and at my Windows box I had a couple of programs that could override the restriction (DVD region free, dvd genie etc).
Now my Mac will not play these movies (I get the usual message that I have 4 changes allowed which is standard on every computer dvd drive)
Is there a workaround on this problem?
Is there software for the mac that will do the same thing?
If everything fails I guess I could buy a super drive from Europe and install it.
Anyway your help will be greatly appreciated.

Can new Macbook play region 2 dvd's ?

Just wondering if my new macbook aluminum can play dvd' from England (region 2 I believe)
Many thanks,

ypw is correct. The very first time you play a DVD video, your region should automatically be set to the region of the DVD you're playing. If you're not an admin user, you will be asked to set the region and put in an admin password. After that, you can change the region five times.
If you want to play a DVD from another region, you may be able to use the VLC Media Player to bypass the region setting. I don't think there's a problem with suggesting that here, it's been done many times in the past. However, as the VLC Media Player is still in development and beta, some versions will play other region DVDs and some won't. Recently, it's been more unlikely that you'll be able to play a DVD from another region with the current version.
I've seen suggestions for bypassing region control by using VLC getting deleted by mods. Region control is considered a form of digital rights management, albeit a fairly simple one.
In any case, I've heard that VLC doesn't override region controls with the latest Matshita drives or pretty much any new drive. The drive itself will check the content and refuse to play region coded discs outside the currently set region. I understand that the older Pioneer and Matshita drives didn't actually have any region coding in the drive itself, and in that case Apple's DVD Player region coding was done in OSX.

Playing Region 2 DVDs....Will It Mess Up?

I recently learned that DVDs have to be in your own region to play it. Well, I'm in region 1 and there's a DVD I want to get that's in region code 2. If I buy the region 2 DVD, is there absolutely no way it would be able to play on my Macbook?

Download VLC it`s a region free .

Can I play DVD on my PC and stream it to Apple TV ?

We don't usually buy movies online and we're not going to do that in the future. So is it possible to play DVD on my laptop and watch it on my big screen through ATV ?

There is a way around this. You can "rip" the DVD on your PC and then import the "ripped" movie into iTunes and then you can stream it via ATV2 to your TV.

Can you download dvds to your laptop and put them on your i pod touch??

does anyone know if you can download dvds onto your ipod touch without going onto the app store

Then you need a converion program like Handbreak (both Mac and PC). Handbreak has presets for the iPod. However, you will lose chapters and other selections items that a DVD has.

I would appreciate if someone can advised me in this matter.

Can I upload Amazon Prime and Google Play movies and TV series that I downloaded to iCloud and stream them from there later

I switched from having an android on Verizon to Sprint and selected an iPhone because of the deal they had with them. Unfortunately I get really impatient when it comes to new tech so all they had in stock were the 16gb 6's. I'm obviously used to sticking a 64gb card into my android and being on my merry way... Anyways. All of my media/entertainment purchases have been on the Google Play store or Amazon Prime. I have both apps on my iPhone & both give me the option to download. Is there any way I can download my previous purchases to my iPhone and then upload them to the iCloud? Once (if) they are in the cloud will I be able to stream them from there or is that only reserved for iTunes purchases? I do have root access to my phone if that makes a difference.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iCloud Drive isn't just for iTunes content, but apps need to be developed to use it, I doubt your Amazon and Google apps are.
