How do I find the DVD remote control and restart my DVD where I left off?

Hello. I have the external disc player. When I inserted a DVD the first time, the movie started automatically and the DVD remote control came to the screen. However, I had to shut down before I finished watching the movie. I kept the disc drive plugged in and the DVD inside. Now I don't know how/where to find the DVD remote control to restart the movie as it doesn't start automatically without me unplugging the whole thing and restarting it from the beginning.

Thanks!

MacBook Air, using the external disc drive

If the movie is still open just to your mouse to the screen it should pop-up. You can also go to the window menu item then select show controller.

Thank-you, Eric. No, it was when the movie was stopped and I had actually turned off the computer for the night. I played around on it a lot and kept googling. I think the way is to launch finder and search DVD player. The remote came up then! Don't know if there's an easier way but I'm happy to restart my movie now. (I am a new Mac user, evidently 😉) Thanks for replying!
