How do I mirror a DVD using Apple's program DVD Player on to my Apple TV? The DVD Player window goes gray on each screen (TV screen and MacBook Pro screen).
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1), Apple TV is up to date as well.
Have you set your 2 displays to Mirror?
(Look in System Preferences>Displays)
Yes, I have.
Just checkin' 🙂
Do have any ideas? I've tried anything just not Mini DisplayPort to HDMI and I want to know if there is a wireless way before buying an additional cord. I also tried the program named AirParrot and didn't work, I've tried the media program VLC and no luck so I'm just hoping someone had the same problem and found a solution.
Offhand, no
But others may.
Okay, thank you for your time!
You're welcome, and good luck 🙂
I have the exact same problem.
We need to get Apple people to look at this question and figure it out.
I don't believe it's possible. The licensing from the DVD technology owners generally prevent video DVDs from being streamed, mirrored, or otherwise displayed on anything other than the device for which the player has been licensed.

So you don't believe it will work through HDMI straight to my TV either?
That should work, I believe, since the playback is on your computer and you're just using the TV as an external monitor.
Regards.
Okay, thank you so much for your time.
this *****, I previously played dvds on the mac and streamed it to the tv using apple tv.
Yeah I ordered the Minidisplay Port to HDMI to hook my MacBook Pro right up hopefully that will work. The cord should be here today, I'll respond with the outcome.
