Can DVD player for mac play disk images?

James H

Is there a plugin or fix available to allow the standard DVD player application in mac to play disk images (mounted from .dmg)? It would be helpful and would remove the need to take all my delicate DVD's on long car trips. :)

Answer
DVD Player.app has this functionality by default. I use it all the time to check DVDs I make in DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. I also use it to time-shift rentals.

Once DVD Player is open, choose File < Open DVD Media. Choose the disk from the sidebar. You don't have to go down to the line to select folders or anything.

Alternatively, you can use Front Row to play the DVD as a disk image. First, you must create an alias of the /Volumes directory in your home folder. Because /Volumes is hidden, you can get to it by activating Finder and selecting Go < Go to Folder and typing /Volumes Option + Command + drag the icon on top of the window to create an alias in your home folder.

You can use a bunch of third party video players, namely VLC to watch DVDs stored in that format, but the concept is that it is a virtual disk, so the OS understands what it is, and what to do with it.

Answer
Do you mean DVD player software? Or a DVD drive?

Mac OS X comes with an application called DVD Player. VLC (free download) is also a good player.

If you mean DVD drive, I'm afraid I can't be of much help since all my Macs have built-in DVD drives.

Is it free? Or is there a price?

The DVD player app on the Mac is bundled with OS X and comes free with every new Mac. You cannot buy it separately.

Answer
Apples own dvd player program. but usually only works with Apples built in dvd players or burners. VLC is also a program that plays dvds but it lacks the picture quality in my opinion of a set top dvd player or Apples dvd player. Also there is a program called Mplayer which is a little better on picture quality than VLC. you can download both at Macupdate.com.

How do you get rid of subtitles on DVD Player?

oheyohey

I can't seem to get rid of the subtitles that appear every time I watch something on my mac with the application DVD Player. It is not the disk that is set up to have subtitles. Any ideas?

Answer
I guess this is an option to remove the subtitles on your player. You can right click the movie while player and it should give an an option there which says primary subtitle. Click no subtitle.

How can I burn a DVD on a mac that can play in a standard DVD player?

best dvd players mac image

macman

I have a mac ibook (G4) with a superdrive to burn DVDs. I want to burn DVDs from video that I downloaded from my video camera. My previous attempts would not play on a regular DVD player, only on a computer. Also, it would only play one clip at a time, not continously. Should I be able to do this with iDVD or imovie, or do I have to use something like roxio toast (?)?
Give me some options if you can.

Thanks

Answer
Use iMovie to create the movie, then use iDVD to burn the DVD. iDVD will make a DVD that is compatible with DVD players. Toast is not needed for what you are asking to do.

how do i get my dvd out of the dvd player on my mac?

best dvd players mac image

Greer W

i know this sounds stupid, but whenever i try to press 'eject' on the dvd player on my mac computer to get the dvd out, it says 'system error -47'! any help?

Answer
Which Mac?

If the DVD drive is a drawer loader, and if the DVD is playing, then first quit DVD player or quit QuickTime so the DVD and the DVD drive is no longer in use.

If you are using a slot loading DVD drive, don't press "eject" when the disc is no longer in use, drag it to the trash.

Hopefully you did not put a small or odd shaped disc in the drive if is a slot loader...
