For instance using apple's DVD application, or perhaps the Miglia TVmicro, etc, through the airport.
I know about airfoil, but there is a 5 second delay on sound.
I heard there was an upgrade available that would stream any audio on a mac to the airport.
it would be even better if it worked with the apple remote (with the macBook)

I just got an Airport Express on Thursday of last week. Pretty cool, huh? Anyway, there's really no way to avoid a delay (mine is somewhere between 2 and 3 seconds), but there is a way to watch your DVDs through Airport. I went ahead and bought Airfoil, figured i would use it enough. You have to use the VLC player. It's not as streamlined as the player that comes on the Apple, and it can get pretty sticky, but what it allows you to do is delay the video, allowing the audio time to catch up. The VLC player is free, and seems slow with the menus, but once you get your movie playing, it's fine. There is a way to stream audio with VLC through your system and pick it up with iTunes, but that gets extreamly sticky, at least for me. If you can figure that out, you can save $25 that you would have spent on Airtunes.

Google "DVD Airtunes" and you'll find the same articles i found. Feel free to contact me about this. I'll update this answer a bit after i run a test to see exactly what my delay is (to the millisecond). I have the stuff, i'm just too lazy to do it now...lol
