[QUOTE="Nighthawk4, post: 1288955, member: 61193"] Thanks Bob. I have tried it with files made from DVDs with Handbrake - all seems fine. However I already have several Apps which will play those, including iTunes, VLC, DVDPlayer, etc. I am wondering if it is worth going out and buying a Blu-Ray Player which will connect via USB, without needing to replace my TV (which is not HD Ready). Options so far are: 1. Stick with DVDs - of which I have hundreds 2. Buy a Blu-Ray Player with USB and attach to the iMac 3. Buy an HD Ready TV as well as a Blu-Ray Player 4. Buy an all singing, all dancing Full HD TV with Blu-Ray and repurchase all my films as Blu-Rays, leaving me with hundreds of surplus DVDs. Number 4 is NOT going to happen. Until now I have been more or less OK with Number 1. This software [U]might[/U] get me to try Number 2 - which no doubt would lead to Number 3 at least. Thoughts please? :\ [/QUOTE]
