Playing DVD movies on Macbook Air

Can I copy a protected DVD movie on my Intel imac to a USB flash memory card for later playback on Macbook Air without a DVD drive?

Easiest way? Get a windows box and use something like DVD Shrink to grab any of your DVD's (protected or not) and create an iso of them. You could then copy the iso to the USB drive and do whatever you please.
I'm unsure if there is a similar utility for OSX (if that's all you have access to)

    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

  • Playing dvds on a MacBook Air

    Which is the best way to watch both PAL and NTSC region movies on a MacBook Air bought in UK? If I buy 2 separate external dvd players (one for PAL movies and one for NTSC movies) would the Mac drive read them both?

    Yes, pretty much, thank you. I used to have a MacBook bought in the States which was reading NTSC DVDs and I had an external DVD player to watch the PAL DVDs as I now live in UK. By now purchasing a MacBook Air which doesn't have an internal DVD player I thought I could just easily have 2 external DVD players to watch either DVDs regions. But that isn't that easy.. Well looks like the best option is to buy a region-free DVD player. Is that hard to find? Thank you for your help and time.

  • How do I save a home movie to MacBook Air

    How do I save a home movie from DVD to my MacBook Air. I have just downloaded the latest IOS 8.1 but have not installed ant apps for movies. I do have a couple of videos already saved.

    Hi ..
    iOS 8.1 is the operating system for iPhones and iPads, not OS X for your Mac. Apps that run on iOS devices cannot run on our Mac and vice versa.
    Since the MB Air does not have a DVD drive, in order to import the movie from the disc, you will need an external drive.
    Check out the one's mentioned here >  http://lifehacker.com/5922047/how-to-survive-without-a-dvd-drive-in-your-laptop

  • How do i download movie from macbook air directly to icloud?

    how do i download movie from macbook air directly to icloud?

    You want to download (I assume you meant upload) it to iCloud?  If that's what you mean, you can't.  iCloud will already have movies purchased from the iTunes store, which can be redownloaded (depending on your location) from your purchased list.  Movies from other sources cannot be stored in iCloud, except digital copies or purchased DVDs that are compatible with iTunes.

  • Wireless Access to iMac DVD Drive from MacBook Air

    Help please? Could access the IMac drive and DVDs from my MacBook Air until recently. Drive is no longer accessible. Have also lost ability to print remotely to printer attached to iMac (have tried re-setting permissions etc). Can also no longer access the HD on the iMac using wireless access from the MacBook Air. Also have a Mac Book (one of my offspring's) which has same problems. Tried re-pairing with Bluetooth etc. and checking sharing in sys prefs, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?!? Probably something dead simple, but I've been trying to get it going for so long - I give up!

    Thank you. This one has very mixed feedback, that's why i thought i will ask. Have you used or heard about Asus BW-12D1S-U External Blu-ray Writer - Black? I am tempted to buy this one
    thank you

  • What restrictions playing DVD movies?

    Hi,
    I am drooling over the September release of Starwars - the original trilogy but I found out that DVD's will be sold with formats for specific regions, e.g. region 1 for North America, region 2 for Europe etc. This apparently relates to playing DVD movies on a DVD player but what is the situation re: DVD rom/DVD movie players on a desktop computer? Should I pre-order these DVD's?
    My thanks in advance!

    => Linux supports all region-codes using libdvdcss
    But your DVD drive might still curl up and lock itself. My drive has an internal "4 RC switches max" setting; everytime I put another RC disc in my drive, the counter will, well, count down until it's on 0. Then, the drive will lock to that RC and will refuse to accept any other regions.
    Well, it did that until I patched the firmware a while ago.

    According to /proc/ide my dvdrom is a DDU1621 (Sony), I will also look for an upgrade to firmware but I think you need at least DOS to install it. I wonder can it be done in Linux alone?
    Thanks!

  • Can I move only my iTunes movies, not my iTunes music, onto a flash drive? And, is there a program (apart from iTunes) that can play movies on MacBook Air?

    I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
    1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
    Is this possible?
    2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    Thank you so much for any answers posted.
    Best,

    If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system.  If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player.  This should play the movie directly from the flash drive. 
    If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
    3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
    You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop.  When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes.  I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes. 
    To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard.  In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.  
    I hope that helps!
