However, only formats supported by Chromecast can be cast, and DVD files (including physical discs, ISO images, and VOB files) are not among them. The only solution is to first convert these DVD files into a Chromecast-compatible format, such as MP4 (H.264/AAC).
In this article, I will walk you step-by-step through the process of quickly converting your DVDs to Chromecast supported formats and then casting the converted DVD files to your TV. Here is the DVD to Chromecast conversion tool we’ll be using. Download it to get started:
