You can see that’s the case because you can watch an iTunes movie via AirPlay without the slightest hiccup. There’s actually nothing broken in the configuration you specify, what you’re hitting is a built-in limitation of DVD Player that’s tied to digital rights management (DRM) requirements for the Apple DVD playback code.
