Shared Screen and DVD movies I use a new Mac Mini in my stereo system. It has a monitor but does not have Keyboard or mouse. It is controlled with screen sharing from a Mac Book.  My question is related to viewing DVD movies, the store bought kind. With screen sharing active a DVD is inserted into the drive and movie window appears and the sound starts but the playback window is grey.  To get the picture to appear I have to turn off screen sharing. Only then can we watch the movie. 

How can I continue to use screen sharing and view DVD's.
This is a silly copy protection measure. If you use VLC rather than Apple's DVD Player you get no problem at all.

First, go to System Preferences > CDs &amp; DVDs and change the setting for When You Insert a Video DVD from DVD Player to Ignore or choose other and select VLC 2 in your Applications folder.

Now when you insert a DVD VLC 2 will run and should autostart. No grey boxes.
