DVD Player

Mac OS X comes with the "DVD Player" application, found in the Applications folder. It is capable of playing standard format DVDs and can also play DVD image files (.ISO, .DVDMEDIA).

Specific Issues
This application cannot be used to play DVDs on an Apple TV using Airplay due to the Macrovision content protection system used by Apple. If DVD Player is used to play a DVD on an Apple TV a chequerboard pattern will be displayed on the screen.

Use VLC media player instead. To play a DVD with VLC first launch the application, then select Open Disc from the File menu.
