Does anyone know a way to cast DVD's to chromecast from a computer? I currently use my computer as a dvd player and I would really like to avoid hooking my computer directly to the TV.

Edit: I've found a work around for the DVD's I own. I currently back up my DVD's using Shrink DVD to network storage as ISO files, then use the Windows 8.1 mounting option to mount it to a virtual drive and play the movie on vlc. So to make it work one more step in the process is needed. I found a great converter HandBrake. So, if I convert the movies to mkv file format, it's just a matter of clicking and dragging the movie into the chrome browser and casting the tab.

This is feasible for the DVD's I own but if I rent a DVD I can't legally create a copy like that nor is the time required to convert the movies less than what is required to just plug the computer into the TV.

Well renting from Google play is what I do now. DVD's are outdated anyways.
