It might even make you long for the days when Macs were heavier, bulkier, and had built-in DVD drives!Īssuming that your Mac doesn’t have a built-in drive, you’ll need to purchase an external one, but even then you may not be wild about carting this drive around with you, just on the off-chance you want to watch a movie! By ripping a DVD or Blu-ray, you can ensure that you always have easy access to your favourite TV shows and movies. However, if you do ever want to play a DVD or Blu-ray on your Mac, then it can be incredibly frustrating to have the disc and your Mac physically in front of you, with no way of getting the two to communicate. With the rise of streaming-on-demand services like YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Instant Video, your Mac’s lack of a physical DVD drive might never become an issue. My WDTV Live is connected to a Yamaha receiver with TOSLINK optical connector and to my TV with HDMI.Since Apple made the decision to remove disc drives from their laptops, watching a movie or TV show on your Mac isn’t always the easiest thing in the world! I have a wired gigabit network and I have tried playing the files from a Windows 7 and WD Sharespace.
iso files and put up with the bigger files. mkv file, but if I can’t get 5.1 sound and Menus or chapters, I think I will stick withh.
mkv files and have working 5.1 sound and menus, chapters on any of the firmware versions? I like the idea of having a smaller. Am I doing anything wrong? Has anybody ripped DVDs to. iso files seem to be the most trouble-free format. mkv files are the best format to use for video files, but in my case. mkv files with MakeMKV, Handbrake and DVD Converter Professional, I end up with a file that does not give 5.1 sound, menus or even chapters with any versions of the firmware. The playback stutters but the menus and 5.1 sound works.Ĭonverting to. iso files with DVD Decrypter play back with menus and 5.1 sound on any versions of the firmware, just as the original DVDs.ĭVDs ripped to VIDEO-TS files with DVD Shrink seem to play back okay, except for the latest version of the firmware. I have just started playing with converting my DVDs to various formats using different software and playing back with different versions of the WDTV Live firmware.
