• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I currently just bought a Wireless HDMI setup from Peerless and it works really really well. Just as good if there was a wired connection. However, it set me back $250.

Now I realize that Chromecast is out and available for just $35. Has anyone used chromecast to stream MKV HD movies to their TV without any problems?

I tried Apple TV but it wasn't as solid as I'd like the video to be.

You should be able to cast the MKV video on the Chrome cast by playing it in a browser. You also need to ensure that you have the Chrome cast extension. That way it'll cast whatever type of video you are watching as long as you are watching it in a browser window.
