Watch DVD Movie From External Dvd Player

Hello! I hope someone can help me. I've been wondering if i can connect an external dvd player (not dvd drive) in my powerbook to watch movies. There are some disc that my PB superdrive couldn't read but when using my external dvd player it works. Is it possible to do so??? Thanks....

You will not be able to connect the external DVD player directly to the PowerBook. However, with the aid of a device like Elgato's eyeTV you can then connect the DVD player to the eyeTV, which is connected to the PB.
A relatively complicated way to watch a DVD on the PB, but the eyeTV does provide more options as well.
15" 1.25GHz/12" 1GHz PBs, 2xPPC Mac minis, 12" iBook G4,   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Cube, 2xTAMs, iPods 2G/4G, iPs, AEBS, AX

    Not really. Using the correct Digital Av adapter and connecting the iPad to the Tv through one of its HDMI ports is all it takes. Of course making sure the correct input is selected in the Video source selection on the TV.

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?

    We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?  They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now.  What's up?

    Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks.  It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively.  Tonight has been no exception.
    I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause.  My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
    I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm.  I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there.  My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
    I have both a first and second generation AppleTV.  When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame.  The issue affects both.  I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
    So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so...  it must be on the delivery end.
    Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers.  They should.  In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
    I was an early adopter of AppleTV.  It has not been problematic until now.  This is trying my patience.  My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens.  I do.
    I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services.  If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

    yepp, I have done numerous tests today, skipped router and hard wired betwenn PC and appletv3. same problem.
    same network, but from my laptop, works like a charm.. so its not reproducable on all machines.
    this seems to be a itunes/bonjour problem, not ATV3 problem.

    it might be worth checking your TV settings to see if it has an option for different settings based on whether using the tv speakers or headphones.
    Normally you should be able to control the sound via the tv.
    Have you tried it without the headphones?

  • Watching streaming movies from NetFlix

    I tried to watch streaming movies from NETFLIX, but I get an error indicating that the MAC does not support NETFLIX real-time streaming movies, but MAC could support this in the future. Does anyone know when MAC might enable this?

    This has nothing to do with Apple enabling this. It's up to Netflix to make their service available to Mac OS X. You should contact Netflix with your question.

  • HT1657 Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on a plane !

    Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on an airplane ?

    As long as the films have been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them without an internet connection.

  • HT204400 We were watching a movie from iTunes on our Apple TV and it froze with about 10 minutes left... just a spinning disk.  Network was fine, I could run Netflix, I could choose other content... but the movie only gives spinning disk when I go to it.

    We were watching a movie from iTunes on our Apple TV and it froze with about 10 minutes left... just a spinning disk.  Network was fine, I could run Netflix, I could choose other content via AppleTV or iTunes... but the movie only gives spinning disk when I go back to it.  I confirmed settings on AppleTV and reset the unit without any result.  iTunes indicates I have 21 hours left on the rental.  I would like to be able to finish the movie and not have to rent it again.
    Any thoughts?  Anything that needs to be done in Samsung TV settings?

    How did you verify network was fine?
    Netflix adapts to the network whereas iTunes needs a consistently solid connection. What other content did you try?
    What is your current connection via speedtest
    Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network
    Make sure DNS is set to automatic.

  • Does anyone know how I can transfer VHS home movies from my VHS player via my iMac to a DVD

    Does anyone know if 'Dazzle' works with Mac to transfer VHS tapes from a video player to a DVD via an iMac?

    Also, I should mention that I spoke to an Apple rep. He sent me a link to download a driver for the Jukebox once we found out that the pc did not recognize the device when I plugged it into the USB port. He told me that once I upload the driver, it will recognize it and I can just copy and paste the songs into a folder, then import them to iTunes. So far it has not worked and when I tried to call back, it looks like morning is the soonest I can speak to someone. So I'm trying on here.

  • Move rented movie from external disk to internal disk

    While at home, my iTunes library is located on an external USB drive. I've rented a movie while the disk was attached and of course it was downloaded to the external disk. But now I'd like to leave the house and watch that movie on the road. Is it possible to move the file somewhere on my internal disk and how would I let iTunes know of the new location? This seems to be a situation that many laptop users would find themselves in at some point... any solution/ideas?
    Message was edited by: sthmtc

    I understand that it is because I rented. I just thought I would be able to transfer. I never intended to watch the movie on the laptop. I just wanted to rent it from there.
    There are lots of possibilities for transferring rented material from Computer to iPod to AppleTV and back.... Just not from computer to computers.
    I won't make an impulse "rental" on my laptop ever again. Too bad, since I use it more than the iMac.
