Apple TVYour computer doesn't support AirPlay and your Apple DVD player won't support mirroring of any kind to another display. You'll need 3rd party applications for both playing your DVD's and sending the stream to a display.
There's a very good reason Apple didn't implement mirroring in older equipment, which is because the hardware isn't capable, 3rd party software solutions are available but they most likely won't provide smooth playback and will generally cause other issues on your computer too. If I were you I'd either stop using DVD's or get yourself a DVD player, I believe they can be bought for as little as £ 20.00 nowadays.
