Aug 13, 2013 7:04 PM in response to rebeccalshawby Frank Caggiano,Not sure what link you are refering to but to use the remote DVD feature you do not need to add anyting to the OS, the ability to do that is already there.
This might explain your problem (from the page you referenced):
Note: These types of discs or activities are not supported by DVD or CD sharing:
- DVD movies.
- Audio CDs.
- Copy protected discs such as game discs.
- Install discs for an operating system such as Microsoft Windows (for use with Boot Camp), or Mac OS X.
- Burn a CD or DVD
To use the above mentioned discs with a computer without an optical drive, use the MacBook Air SuperDrive or the Apple USB SuperDrive. For assistance with remote installing Mac OS X v10.6 or earlier, refer to Reinstalling software using Remote Install Mac OS X.
Audio CD's won;t work with remote sharing.
