Checkerboard displayed when playing DVD on apple tv

Checkerboard displayed when playing back videos on Macbook Pro running OS 10.8.2 via apple TV, Itunes 10 and 4 GB of memory.

Audio plays, but video displays as gray and white checkerboard, when entering full screen the video can be seen for a brief moment then reverts back to checkerboard.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I assume you are Airplay mirroring.


Apple seem to prohibit low level access to video when the application may be showing copy protected material.


Therefore getting a screengrab or capturing video frames to send by Airplay does not work from DVD player.


Try using VLC player instead - I believe that may work.
