External DVD playing disks in green only
Hello. I'm running Monterey 12.7.5 on an iMac Retina (2015) with 8 GB of memory, using an Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200 1536 MB card. Just recently my external DVD player has decided to play videos in green. YouTube videos play normally. My DVD player was a generic model so I retrieved my husbands Apple USB SuperDrive and tried that and it, too, played all in green.
I researched and found a handful of people with the same problem, but there never seemed to be an answer posted for the problem. One said to restart with the Apple SuperDrive plugged in. So I tried that and it made the problem worse. The disk started spinning, like it was attempting to be read, but nothing appeared on the screen. After which I was unable to eject the disk from the drive.
I took the drive to my husbands laptop and plugged it in to see if I could eject the disk and now it doesn't even work for him! Do I have a virus?
