QUICK TIME and DVD player query
QUICK TIME and DVD player query .
HELLO
I WONDER IS THIS A NEW FEATURE or something I that never knew . I was converting dvd s to play on my itunes and one file would not convert
So I dropped the raw file from the dvd onto my hard drive . And I opened DVD player , Hit the file button and went to open dvd media section and opened it .
AND the movie played perfectly .
And it also works with the quicktime player .
Why bother to covert if your movie.tv show is staying on your mac or if you're using your mac as an apple TV .
What a great feature.
SO is playing raw DVD files from the DVD/QT players a new feature ??

Disk space. A raw DVD file is often 6GB or more, whereas a conversion can be 1GB or less so you get more movies on the drive. Plus a conversion may also be able to sync to a portable, unlike a DVD file.
What a great feature.

I think it was added to DVD Player - it used to only play discs but the feature was added a while ago.
Playing in Quicktime wasn't supported and I don't think it is officially supported at present out of the box - do you perhaps have Perian or similar plugins installed - maybe the MPEG-2 decoder plugin from Apple? This is what will allow you to play back the MPEG 2 videos.

I have no idea what you mean by DVD files. However, DVD Player treats .iso DVD image files mounted on the Desktop as real DVDs and plays them just like real DVDs.

What he means by DVD files is the VIDEO_TS folder. DVD Player can open VIDEO_TS folders provided that the user can copy it from a DVD.
