Sorry, Mezzmo does not stream DVDs directly. You will have to rip your DVD first onto your harddisk, and then Mezzmo can stream the ripped video files to your TV.

Hi Paul

Thanks for the information - that's a shame it can't do that...it would be much more convenient. Is there a technical or legal reason this is not possible ?


Thanks

It's more of a technical reason - DVD's structure has multiple files in it, so they'd need to be somehow collected together, transcoded as one movie and presented to the device. It's doable and possibly will be a future feature, but at the moment you can point Mezzmo to your DVD drive and stream those files one-by-one, if you wish (from the VIDEO_TS folder).
