I have a superdrive hooked up to my M1 MacBook Pro that plays sound but no video. I purchased another cheap dvd drive from amazon because I thought the superdrive was broken it does the same thing. I've tried several formats including homemade videos and have the same issue.

what app...?

alternative software to open:

see MPV— https://mpv.io/

See Cisdem https://www.cisdem.com/video-player-mac.html

see VLC https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html

The standard apple DVD app. I got both drives to work using a different app which is crazy.
