Stream a dvd from a mac to the wdtv live box?

Legacy Products WD TV

Hello all.

Just bought a new house and I am currently in the process of mounting the tv. I HATE the wires under the tv so I am cutting out all I can to make it happen. I have everything covered except for the dvd player. So here is my question.

Is it possible to put a dvd into my macbook pro, and stream it to the wdtv live box? Is there a special program or something even simpler? The free’er the better!

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I havent tried this but you should be able to share the DVD over the network.

Check the link below for more information.

Ill give it a try but I am doubtful…thanks for the suggestion though. Anyone else have any ideas?

Bite the bullet and hammer a small slit (right word in this context?) into the wall that can be plastered, or go with a slim cable channel?
