Has anyone figured out a way to play dvds using the remote disc function? I dont have an external drive and am just curious to see if i can get this to work. Thanks. nhuisman1234 Dell Mini 9 - OS X 10.5.7 - 2GB Ram - 32GB SuperTalent SSD - 1.3MP Webcam - Intel Atom 1.6GHZ - Dell EFI 1.2 |

I have used it and it does work. It tends to be pretty slow.. so I wouldn't count on using it to play movies or music real time. It works great however to install drivers, software, or copy files. Here is a link.. MacBook Air: How to use Remote Disc to share DVDs or CDs on a Mac- or Windows-based computer I didn't need to put a Macbook Air disk in.. just had to enable, "DVD or CD Sharing" on my iMac and then clicked on "Remote Disk" on the the Mini 9's finder window. I selected, "Ask for permission" when setting up sharing on the iMac.. so I hit 'Yes' on the iMac after the request to share was sent by the Mini 9. After that.. insert/share any CD/DVD... it takes a while to pop up/load/change folders - But works well. |

You can't share copy protected media. MacBook Air: "The original item cannot be found" when trying to access DVD movies or audio CDs with Remote Disc |
