Play DVD in Laptop and stream to Apple TV ?

Is it possible to play DVD movies in our laptops and stream it to ATV 2 ?
We don't have a DVD player but we have 3 laptops and watch movies on our laptops.

I wonder if it might be possible for someone to write a utility that would somehow make a DVD look like a valid video file? Something that would do on the fly translation.
it would need to break the encryption on the DVD, which is what isn't allowed as per the DMCA.
this topic is strictly forbidden so there is no point trying to continue the discussion.

Play DVD on laptop and transfer to iMovie?

Hi all.
Is there a way to play a home burned DVD on a mac laptop and transfer it to iMovie on another Mac?
I have a DVD that I need to take some footage off of and put into a section of an iMovie project. For some reason it freezes on my stand alone DVD player but plays alright on my mac laptop.
Thanks much!

The only way to stream directly to your TV would be if it is an AirPlay-enabled device.
There are many AirPlay-enabled devices but I am not familiar with Sony's products. If yours do not specifically indicate AirPlay capability, then you need an AirPlay-enabled device such as an AppleTV connected to your Sony TV or Sony AVR.

How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

Restore your phone using the last backup that you made. That should put everything back the way it was.

i don't have any experience with DLNA TV's but i recently moved my iTunes library to a NAS. streaming content to airport express remote speakers and TV2 works great. however, i have all my gear hardwired to my time capsule (except the airport express) so i'm not sure how well streaming e.g. HD movies to TV over wifi works.
i have a Synology DiskStation 411j and am very happy with it.

Why can't I play DVDs from my mac to my Apple TV

I can't play a DVD from my iMac to my Apple TV, why and what can I do to fix this

If you own the DVD, why not use HandBrake or something similar to rip to your iTunes library? Then you WOULD be able to play to your AppleTV with no issues.

Play DVD on iMac and watch it on TV

I don't have a DVD player with my television. If I want to watch DVD movies on my TV screen, can I do this by connecting my iMac -- which plays DVDs -- to my television?
Is this where I would need the Apple Video Adapter? According to the iMac manual, I plug one end into the video-out port of the iMac and the other into the S-video port on the back of the TV. Is that all there is to it? Don't I need video cable, or is that part of the adapter?
Do I control the playback of the DVD via the DVD Player program on the iMac? And if I have a VCR connected to the TV, do I have to disconnect that first before DVD playback will work?
I hope anyone who's done this can tell me what I need to know. Thanks all.

Is that all there is to it?Yes, except that if you want the TV to play the audio you will need an audio cable to go from the iMac's headphone port to the TV's audio input.Don't I need video cable, or is that part of the adapter?Yes you will need an S-video cable to go between the video adapter and your TV.Do I control the playback of the DVD via the DVD Player program on the iMac?Yesif I have a VCR connected to the TV, do I have to disconnect that first before DVD playback will work?Only if the VCR is connected to the TV's only S-video input.

DVD assets, laptop and project set-ups

Hi,
I am developing an application that involves the use of a
laptop and projector in a presentation/educational style situation.
Of course in thsi situation the application should run display on
teh laptop screen as well as on the projector.
Any issues of using the keys Fn + F4 to cycle through the
display combinations, are there anyother issues I need to take not
of. Does the DVD Asset Xtra work under these conditions in the
first place? Because the OnStage DVD professional apprently
explicitly does not do so until a further update sometime in Q4
this year (that is what I was told by Visible Light)
Thank you very much,
Nik C

I just purchased a new laptop and I am trying to transfer my ITunes library to my new computer. When I log into ITunes on my new laptop and enter my Apple ID password, it says AppleID does not have permission to access iTunes Connect. What do I do?

To have EVERYTHING on your New computer...
From your OLD computer...
Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

PLAY DVD MOVIE FROM MACBOOK PRO TO APPLE TV

HOW CAN I PLAY A DVD MOVIE ON MY MACBOOK PRO AND MIRROR IT MY APPLE TV.

Native mirroring requires a recent Mac (2011 or later) running 10.8
Older hardware can use 3rd party options like Airparrot
The native DVD player is blocked from mirroring but VLC should work

Satellite M30X: drive won't read data DVD-R's but plays DVD-R movies and CD's

I have a Toshiba M30X with DVD/CDRW combi drive.
I have accumulated 12gb of digital photo's that I wanted to clear but did not fancy the number of CD's that entailed so I purchased a LITEON EZ-DUB external DVD rewriter and made 3 DVD-R's full of JPEG's.
However, when I put these DVD's in the Toshiba combi drive, it clicks away for a moment or two but when I click on the combi drive in My Computer, the folder is empty and it says there's 0 bytes.
CD's still work, both audio and data, DVD movies play just fine, DVD-R's made on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) play fine, but it will not recognise DVD-R's with data (JPEG's or MP3's) on them.
It makes no difference which software was used (both Nero 6.6 and LITEON EZDUB) and it doesn't matter whether the discs are finalised, single session, multi session or what - it won't play any of them.
These discs however work perfectly in my 7 year old desktop with a 4 year old Sony DVD/CDRW combi.
I'm stumped.
I don't particularly want to reinstall windows in case it doesn't recognise the Recovery DVD and I seem to remember Microsoft One Note having to be activated by telephone with a code that is different each time you ask it to generate one.
It's a bit of a pain as I wanted to carry my photo's with me in my laptop bag.
I don't want to be carting around an external DVD writer just to read the DVD's.
I've updated the firmware for SD-R 2512.
It had no effect other than to freeze on an all black screen during restart - I had to hold down the power switch after 15 minutes in that condition.
The laptop is 1 year and 26 days old if that counts for anything.
Anyone have any ideas? Or do I just put up with it.

Hi
Well, I can only make some suggestions.
You are able to place many MP3 and Jpeg files on the DVD.
Maybe this is a reason why the explorer cannot handle the DVD.
Try to burn the DVD with JEPG picture but don't make the DVD full with these files.
You should let a free space on the medium. Maybe it helps.
But it's very strange for me and this is only a suggestion. I have never tired it and don't know if it helps.
I had a similar issue on my notebook but I have solved it by using a compatible medium. Some drives prefer different mediums for different kind of files.

How do I stop movies from syncing to my laptop and disappearing on Apple TV

I download movies onto Apple TV - then they disappear onto my laptop. How do I keep them on Apple TV?

you are on the appleTV generation 2 forum.. is this an appleTV generation 1 problem?
if it is a gen 1 question.. that is how the it is supposed to work.. appleTV 1s cannot be backed up so after a sync is performed items will get synced back to the linked computer (where it can be backed up) where it can be synced back to the appleTV (will be in two locations) or can be streamed to the appleTV.. if that didn't happen you could possibly lose all the content sitting on your appleTV gen 1 if you had a hard drive failure or had to restore you appleTV.
appleTV gen 1 is not intended as a archive for media, only as a temporary location to mirror some portion of the content sitting on the iTunes folder sitting on the linked iTunes library.. it functions exactly like an synced iPod.. not like an external hard drive
this is the kind of confusion relating to how appleTV functioned is why i believe apple went to a much simpler streaming only model in appleTV generation 2
in any case if this is an appleTV 1 question.. you are on the wrong forum..

TV/DVD 22DL833B combo is playing DVD in black and white

We were given a year old, but never used Toshiba 22DL833B tv and dvd all in one.
On playing a DVD, the picture is black and white. As far as we are aware, there is no physical fault. We are unable to check if it is just the dvd player that is affected as we do not have sky multi room to test tv channels, it was purely for our daughter to watch dvd 's on.
We have gone through all the setting on the menu button on the remote and cannot find a solution.
Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.
Edit: it is capable of colour, as the icons in the settings menu e.g picture settings are partly blue.

This sounds really strange.
Does the black/white picture appear playing all possible DVDs?
Ive no plausible explanation for that because I did not find any setting/option in the user manual which could explain why this black/white screen appears using the DVD player.
But it could be possible that the issue is related to the different DVD region code.
