Itunes/DVD Player/Airport?

I have a macbook pro hooked to an airport express with remote speakers, and they work fine with itunes when playing music... but how can I use the same speakers when watching a dvd? Itunes doesn't seem to play dvd's and dvd player doesn't seem to offer that option...
So how?

And VLC can play over the remote speakers? I use VLC
on my windows boxes, but haven't on this mac before.
Thought the airport remote speakers might be limited
to Itunes only.
Nope, VLC can't do that; and you're right, using speakers with an AirPort Express is limited to streaming from iTunes. That's where Airfoil comes in. Airfoil eliminates the iTunes-streaming-only limitation, and allows you to stream audio from just about any app to the AirPort Express-connected speakers.
So in your case, you'd open Airfoil, and choose VLC to stream. Then you use VLC to play your DVD. After adjusting VLC for the delay, as Matthew Whiting reminded us (thankfully, since I totally forgot), you're good to go. DVD streamed to your speakers.
And hey, thanks for using the "helpful" stars! I'm sure Matthew would agree that it's appreciated.

Some thing wrong in iTune , DVD Player , or may be with my keyboard

hi every body
after installing the last update of mac lion os , iTune went crazy ,
itune was starting automatically every 30 secconds , even wehn i quit iTune , it start automatically .
actully first i thought only it's iTune , but after a while i get the action by DVD player too .
first i though some body is hacking me , but after disabling any device that is connected to out side of os things happends again .
i check forums about itune and many guys ask about iTune , but no body ask about DVD player , so i think may be it's keyboard signal bugs .
i am thinking maybe the "Play button" of keyboard is hitting automatically and by that iTune or DVD player appliaction starts .
dose any body have any idea ?!
it's make me crazy
dose any body have this problem too ?!
how can i check which appliaction or which singlas is sent to itune or dvd player ?
thanks you guys

Hi Russel
After endless hours of trying to work around the same problem you have, I found the solution. The problem has to do with the script. For some strange reason the scripts become corrupted. I found out that the problem was corrected when I made a new script and connected the buttons to the new script. Hope they at apple find time to correct this problem in the future.

Where did button go for new itunes to connect speakers/ dvd player through airport?

I realize this question is ubiquitous in this forum....I guess I'm specifically interested in knowing WHY won't the Extreme software recognize the Express unit?

I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my wireless network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to my AirPort? I never have a problem connecting an Apple device (AirBook, iPad, etc).

I'm having a problem connecting my BlueRay DVD player and other non-Mac devices to my AirPort Express network. Is there a limit on the number of devices I can connect to the wireless network? I never have a problem connecting a new Apple product (AirBook, iPad) and even a basic laptop. Thanks for your help.

How do I burn a DVD R disc with Windows Movie Maker? It indicates disc error on my DVD player. Someone thought it had something to do with Itunes? I reloaded Itunes 1 month ago and had no problem creating this disc then. Help

I have made several DVD+R discs in the past using Windows Live Movie Maker sucessfully. I made one about one month ago for my son's b-day. I am using the same discs as I had then. When I tried to burn the disc, it indicates that it is burning, however, when I insert it into the DVD player at home on our TV (like I"ve always done), it indicates disc error. Someone mentioned that the burner goes out every now and then when Itunes is uploaded? When I burn the disc, I can pull it up on my home and work computers, so I know that it is there.

Yes, you can distribute a burned disk of the project to those who can create duplicate disks. Or create a disk image of the iDVD project using the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.
Then you can distribute the disk image to those who will burn the disks. For PCs you'll have to convert the .dmg file to a .iso file so they can burn it. This website describer how: Mac Help - Convert and Burn Mac .dmg or .img to .iso Windows PC-Compatible Disk Image
Suggest to them to 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.
It would be prudent to rest your optical drive for about 30 minutes after burning 3 disks in a row. That will give the laser time to cool down before you start another batch.

All of a sudden my burnt cds from my macbook pro won't play in my Mac but will play in a PC or a DVD player! Itunes

You can't boot OS X with a Windows boot device.
Internet Recovery is the next step. Follow ssls6's advice.

I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work.

I installed iTunes 10.5.3.3 and now my DVD player won't work and has this error:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
Any ideas why iTunes renders my DVD drive unusable? I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and when reinstalling I had my device manager open and saw during the installation how my DVD player went from accessible to not being able to start.
Why is this happening?
Here is my computer information:
Dell
Latitude D630
Intel Core Duo CPU T770 @2.40 Hz
4.00 GB RAM
32-bit Operating System
Thank you,
Kelly

There's a few different possibilities with a code 10, Kelly. To narrow in on the likeliest culprits it would help to have a closer look at your system.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here.

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro and the superdrive has stopped working, it won't take discs in as if there is one already inside but iTunes or the dvd player doesn't recognise that there is a disc inside and if there is it can't be ejected, i have tried shutting down and restartinf while holding down the trackpad, as recommended on some forums but that has done nothing
It might be a huge coincidence but the drive was working fine before i installed lion?

Installing Lion would not cause the superdrive to stop working. Are you unsure as to whether or no a cd/dvd is inside? Something may be broken inside and you should consider bringing it in for service.

Using DVD player or Itunes with lid shut

Is it possible to to use the dvd player or itunes with the lid shut? When I hook the computer up to my tv to watch a movie I would prefer to close the lid. But when I close the lid the system goes to sleep and the player stops.
thanks for your help.

There is a solution for you:

Or you can search "Powerbook close lid" in the support web page, it will come up with some articles.

Playing iTunes videos to a personal DVD player

I'd like to play iTunes videos on my DVD player. I copied them on to a USB, then tried to play them on the DVD player. But they show up as "MPEG4" files and a red circle with a line through it appears. Guess that means it's a No Go. Any suggestions? Advice? Help? Thanks.

Well, I wondered...I tried playing the videos off the USB while it was plugged into my computer, and the video file in iTunes opened. Does that make sense to you? Yes, they do play on my iPod, but I hear you telling me I am NOT going to be able to play them on the DVD player. I also tried burning them onto a DVD disc, but that didn't work either.

Will Airport Express transmit sound from an iMac's "DVD Player"?

I am playing a DVD on my Mac’s DVD Player application, and projecting the movie to a screen at the front of the room. Can I wirelessly transmit the sound track to a powered speaker at the front of the room via my Airport Express?

You should be able to if you use a third-party application like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil.

Using iTunes to create an MP3 CD that can be used on a DVD player

I recently attempted to create what I believed to be an MP3 CD from iTunes that my DVD player would be able to play. My DVD player was unable to read the CD (No Disc message). Come to find out that it creates the CD in a Mac format instead of an ISO 9660 format. Has anyone been able to create an MP3 CD from iTunes that a DVD player will load? If so what settings did you use?

The problem is solved. My new Sony DVD Player seems to handle whatever format my MP3 CD is created in even though the manual says nothing about a mac formatted CD. So I can now use iTunes or Toast to create MP3 CDs. My old JVC CD player is about 5 years old and even though the manual says it will read MP3 CDs and VCD CDs it never worked well on anything I created on a Mac

ITunes 10.1 installed but it disabled the driver for my DVD player
