Can you stream a dvd from iMac to Apple TV 4th Gen?

Just what the subject says... Thanks.

From Disk? I don't believe so unless you use Airplay mirroring... basically sharing your Mac's screen: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343 I believe this still requires VLC as the player instead of Apple's built-in DVD player.

Ripped to a .m4v file first? Certainly.

So I can do it through vlc on mac and Apple TV? From the DVD itself...

VLC open the dvd through files>disk. Enable AirPlay Mirroring
Then just go full screen and start the movie.

Or Handbrake it, put it in iTunes and play it from Computers app on Apple TV.
