Playing DVD's on my IMac and Watching them on ATV3

I have an older IMac 27 inch (late 2009) Running Yosemite 10.10 My ATV is gen 3 running the latest software 7.03 I believe. I understand with the age of the computer I can not Mirror to my ATV. Is there a third party program out there that will allow me to see a DVD playing on my Mac on my ATV as well?
As best I can tell I will have to "Rip" my DVD's to store them on ITunes. So again my question is, is there software out there that will allow me to watch movies on my ATV from my Mac without ripping them first?? Thanks for any help!

You would be using a 3rd party program to mirror your screen, the DVD player app blocks mirroring due to copy protection. An alternative app that allows this would have to bypass the protection, and this would fall into the same policy as the ripping.

Can I play a movie on my iMac and watch it through my Apple TV2?

I want to steam a movie on my iMac upstairs and watch it downstairs on my Apple TV

If the Movie is in itunes and in a compatible format yes - either selecting on AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library>movies or playing in iTunes and using AppleTV as an Airplay destination.
If you mean an inserted DVD or from a non-itunes app then no.

This could be problematic.
It will depend on what model of iMac you have.
You may want to post machine info.
blue apple > about this mac > more info button. Click on the hardware line. It has a little triangle in front of the work hardware.
Leave out the serial number.
Example:
Machine Name: iMac
Machine Model: PowerMac4,1
CPU Type: PowerPC 750 (33.11)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 600 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 768 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.1.9f1
Most of the iMac's have sometype of video output port on the back. You will problably need a converter.
The 'hollywood' industry has been making it more difficult to get video out over time to prevent copying.

I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

do you use the same Apple ID on your iMac, your iPhone and iPad? This is a requirement.

Can i use time capsule for back up my movies and watching them with my bravia tv

can i use time capsule for back up my movies and watching them with my bravia tv.
i mean can i use this for external hard disk drive to back up my movies and watching them with tv that has a lan port or wi-fi technology.

Only if the TV is a media player.. the TC is dumb as a board router with a hard disk.. there is no DLNA which I suspect the TV requires.. you can get a player like the WDLive and it will play movie files from the TC to the TV.. remember the TC is nothing but a file store.. no servers .. no nothing.

If you are positive it's not actually a 5G iPod Video, then you should be able to.

This message indicates the videos were encoded using codecs for which the current "playback platform" is not currently configured. Either use a third-party media player having the required codecs built into the player or install the required codecs on your system if available.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have a SATA controlled hard drive. Apparently, there's some kind of bug with SATA disks and Vista and Quicktime/itunes video...and possibly Nvidia is involved as well.
The workaround is sticking the video on a flash drive in order to play it (because that avoids the SATA controller and thus bypasses the issue). It's a crappy workaround, IMO...and I'm not spending another cent on iTunes videos until the issue is actually fixed.

Why does iPhoto not recognize the .jpg pics from a Kodak C875 now? I can stick my memory card in the iMac and import them that way, but iPhoto will not import the pics from the camera.

There have been many issues reported with Kodak cameras - serach the forums for them
Actually the best practise is to use a card reader to import your photos, verify that they are imported ocrrectly and wait at least one backup cycle and then use the camera's format command to reformat the card and erase it - this assures no lost photos and always having the card properly formatted
