Airplay is working fine, that is, until I start it up under DVD Player.Then I immediately get a checkerboard pattern, until I stop Airplay. The movie runs fine without Airplay. Everything outside the DVD is mirrored fine.
I use a MacBook, AppleTV, and Mountain Lion.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion
It's DRM protected and not allowed to be airplayed

Do you mean that the Airplay is protecting it or that the DVD has the protection? I have a DVD I burned my self that should have no DRM on it, but I am getting the checkerboard pattern.
Ok well I'm going through DVD's now and I just inserted a disc made with imovie and idvd and it shows these symptoms. I'm guessing that it would have no DRM on the disc. I shut off airplay mirronring and that did not help.
It has nothing to do with actual DRM on the disc.
Apple are simply assuming anything played via DVD Player might be protected and preventing the screen area from being sent via Airplay properly.
You may find other media players such as VLC will work ok.

It's not even working on my computer that has the disc inserted
Alley_Cat -- Thanks for the comment; VLC worked well; glad I happened to have that downloaded.

Via DVD player it won't work - try doing a screengrab of DVD player playback or of protected iTunes material. It won't work.

Just rip the DVD using Wondershare, Handbrake or iVI Pro, play it in iTunes then you can mirror it.
Checkerboard pattern with Airplay under DVD Player.
