Both are Linked via ethernet
Laptop is using Windows 10 with VLC on it and Apple TV has the VLC app
1) is it possible to do what i am trying ?
2) if yes what are the parameters for VLC on laptop and/or on Apple TV?
Thanks for your help !

The easiest is to make an iso of the DVD, share it with SMB sharing and playback this on the AppleTV directly.

I have DVDs that I copied as a folder to my Mac (I used Fairmount back in the day). I gave them extension .dvdmedia so that they look like a single file (it's actually a "bundle") in the Finder.
These play just fine in VLC on the Mac but on Apple TV the dvdmedia bundle looks like a regular folder and I couldn't get any of the files inside the folder to play.

I don't have the DVDs anymore so I can't make an ISO out of them. Is it possible to play .dvdmedia folders in VLC for Apple TV? If not, what other options are there?

Thanks!
