OS X Catalina: DVD player "not supported" for external DVD Drive I tried an LG external DVD-RW drive. It saw the DVD disc ("Scrubs" TV show, Season 5 disc 3) in the Finder, launched DVD player. which showed the error message "Not Supported," then the player crashed. I restarted, and got the same result. Being in a very customer friendly store, I opened an Apple USB SuperDrive and tried that. Same result. Have used the LG drive with High Sierra flawlessly. Have tried other DVD discs. I think it's a Catalina problem.

DVD Player missing in Catalina I hadn't used my DVD Player Burner In my MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2012 Running macOS Catalina V. 10.15.7 In many months I hadn't used it since Maverick I assume, well the need arose fot it. But I Notice No Player .app it's like it vanished. Well I thought this probly is a simple glitch fix. Also I am not a what you would call an inexperienced user. I am a dedicated Mac user, Compared to what I learned on back 1995 with my blazing Pentium 75 with a 10gb HDD 256kb of Ram, combined with the massive bandwidth of 56kb dialup modem. Ok I looked around and found the DVD Player 4.6 , Says can't install incompatible. well I made sure everything was updated, abd eventually walked back to the Lower Version If anyone has been down this road, and could advise me I would be Greatful

I cannot replicate your problem - mine works fine.

Try resetting NVRAM and SMC

Try shutting down, then booting the Mac with Shift key held down all the way through. Then reboot as normal.

This is to reset certain files and caches.
