Sounds a bit odd. What was the connection from your MacBook to the
projector? I know there is a bag of hurt around HDMI and HD video DRM
but if you were using the analog VGA connection that shouldn't have had
anything to do with it.

Hello all. In the past, I have been able to connect my MacBook to a projector
and play any movies in my iTunes library. However, (and it has been months
since I did this), today it did not work. The movie would play on the computer
itself, but as soon as the projector was connected, it would stop. (The
projector is not broken; it plays when connected to other devices.)
I had two tech-savvy individuals try to get it to play, using mirroring, VLC,
and connecting to an Apple TV in our building's media lab. However, I am told
that:
1. Because of the Motion PIcture Association of America, Apple has placed new
restrictions on movies downloaded from the iTunes store, and it is no longer
possible to connect them to a projector and play them easily. (This makes no
sense, since from what I understand from others, movies bought through Google,
Amazon, Hulu, etc., play just fine when connected to a projector.)
2. The Apple TV must be one that I myself can log onto; essentially, I cannot use any but my own Apple TV to play my movies.
3. My only other option is to get an Apple projector.
Is this all accurate? Is there a workaround?
