I have DVD's that play perfectly on my MacBook Pro. My airplay mirroring with my Apple TV is working fine as well. When I try to play a movie in the mirror on my tv all i get is a screen full of grey and white checker board squares with sound. Why are they not working together?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
