What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive?

What application will allow me to play movies with an external disc drive? I recently purchased an external disc drive and when testing it discovered that it only played the audio of the DVD, not the video.  Very frustrated.

Are you referrring to a commercial DVD movie, or a disk with digital movies, such as mpeg files?

    This morningI tried to use the above dongle with an HDMI cable to watch a Hulu show on my flat screen.  The picture was fine, but I didn't get any sound.  I have the latest MBA 11".  Instead, the sound continured to come from the MBA.  Any ideas why?

  • Playing Movies Off an External Hard Drive?

    I just got an external hard drive since I have a ton of stuff and would like to put my movies on the external HDD. Is it possible to play the movies off the HDD if it is connected to the computer I am synched too?

    yes. use i Tunes to move the files to the external.
    In iTunes 9.
    iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
    Set the iTunes media folder location to the external.
    Then select the movie files (or any files in iTunes) and right click Consolidate.
    This will copy only the movies to the external location.
    After it finishes, iTunes prefs -> Advanced and set the iTunes media folder location back to the internal. This will tell iTunes to use the internal drive for new files.
    You can then delete the movies from \Music\iTunes\ on the internal to free up space.
    To copy a movie back to the internal, simply right click - Consolidate (since you pointed iTunes back to the internal).
    just edit these instructions to meet your needs.

  • How to play movies from Accer DD Hard Drive

    I've had my computer for less then 2 weeks and i haven't been able to install all of the major apps in order for certain things to run on my computer. How do i play movies from my external hard drive. I keep having a pop up on saying "QuickTime Player can't open "Bad Grandpa.avi". To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More." I have installed QuickPlayer 7 but i am still recieving that pop up message. I have an Accer DD Hard drive.

    Anything that will play from Samba network file store..
    You will probably also need filebrowser loaded on the ipad to find the files.
    Is the ipad necessary btw.. ?? If you only want to play the file to your TV you can buy a WD Live TV.. unlike the Apple TV it is a media player.. and can play files of almost any format direct from the TC.

    Photoshop, etc.
    What you describe is trivial.  Practically any graphics software can do that.

  • What codec do i need to play .mov on windows7

    what codec do i need to play .mov on windows7 i get a message saying im missing components, then sends me to a page with several

    Quicktime should be able to natively handle .mov files. Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime installed on your computer. If that doesn't work, try an alternative media player like VLC, which can play just about any type of media file.

  • Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

    Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

    Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player.  It may supply the codec it needs.
    Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.

  • I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers.  I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8.  What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine?  Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?

    I have seen so much response about the Mountain Lion update slowing down computers.  I am updating from Mac OS x 10.6.8.  What can I do to ensure the upgrade will go fine?  Do I unplug my external hard drive before installing, or keep it plugged in?
    Also, I have the 08 version of iWork. Will this cause problems for the update?  Can I update this AFTER I update the processor?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    There's no reason to think that Mountain Lion will slow down your Mac. Just make a backup of your data before upgrading with Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    Also, check that your apps are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com Upgrade them to a compatible version or delete them before upgrading.
    The external drive won't make the OS X Mountain Lion installer fail, but it's better to unplug it during the upgrade.
    iWork '08 is compatible with Mountain Lion. iWork '09 includes OS X Mountain Lion features and can be purchased at the Mac App Store.
    To upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion, I recommend at least 4 GB of RAM. You can check how much memory you have in Apple menu > About this Mac

  • Fubar with my external hard drive and not all Match items will play in iTunes on my Air but will on Apple TV. Any thoughts?

    My entire library is on iTunes Match however after a recent fubar with my external hard drive, whilst I can play all my music through Apple TV I can't access it all on my Air. This was the original device used to download. Any thoughts?
    There doesn't seem to be a specific period in my purchasing/downloading that this applies to. For instance, Adele 21 album downloaded at the time isn't playing but Skyfall the single is. Emeli Sande new album downloaded when it came out delivers this message: The song “Heaven” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Same with Bellowhead which was a physical CD uploaded.
    I'm not very technically minded so if anyone can help this poor, frustrated individual I would be very grateful.

    When you say "when i double click on my itunes files it just opens up this list of music." it doesn't mean anything to me. You need to explain clearly, remember I only know what you tell me.
    I need to understand how you have things set up and if you had you iTunes library database on the external drive or the c: drive. That is the iTunes folder containing iTunes library.itl.
    What do you see when you open iTunes on the new PC, are your music files there. If not, every time you play a track it gets added to itUnes so you should at least have some files in your library.
    What problem are you trying to solve? Is just getting the tracks into your iTunes library, or are you also concerned about ratings, count and playlists from the old PC. If so do you still have access to the old PC?
