MAC Remote Disc DVD CD Sharing
MAC Remote Disc DVD CD Sharing Need to enable your remote disc, yet you have cd / dvd sharing enabled and it does not show up. Well with a nice terminal command we can do just that and enable Remote Disc on MAC OS X.
Terminal Commands:
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser EnableODiskBrowsing -bool true
defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser ODSSupported -bool true
Don’t forget to restart your system after using the terminal commands.
Side note: If you only enable CD DVD sharing you can still share your cd/dvd drive but it will show up as a folder not a remote disc.
Have Fun & Enjoy.

Hi, thanks for your tutorials. However I have a question. I have tried remote disc thing in terminal and rebooted. And it is mounted (shown) in finder sidebar … but when i click on it it doesn’t open the contents of the actual disk on another computer. When i do connect to server I can approach the same CD but not via remote disc icon?!?
I should mention I am trying to connect to the XP dvd-drive!
Does that change something?
Thank you … and as always you are of much help with your tips.
Yes if your using it to connect from a Windows based machine you will need to install “Remote Install Mac OS X” application it is located in your Utilities folder. This will allow you to do the same thing on a Windows machine as it does on your Mac.
Hope that helps you out.
thanks for the tutorial, the terminal command worked like a charm….p.s. you sound like t-pain
