We want to watch a DVD using our MacBook Pro and AirPlay and Apple TV. We get audio but no visuals on the TV screen. Help.

How do I get this to work?

Thanks!

You can't with Apple's DVD player software, try a third party player such as VLC.

with airplay and remote desktop and the likes the video stream would be sendt unencrypted and that is in violation of the DRM of the optical media

so it's technically illegal to mirror it which is why the apple player blocks it
