Tips
* Some DVDs have several chapters, you can select the one you'd like to watch. To do so, click Go > Chapter and pick the chapter from the menu to view.

* About DVD region code - Most of the DVDs sold on Amazon.com are encoded for Region 1 or Region A. to play a region-locked DVD on macOS Mojave - Big Sur, the region code should be the same as that of the DVD drive. After inserting the DVD disc, in DVD Player, click File > Get Disc Info > Regions, and you'll see the DVD region. If you are asked to change the DVD region, select a region that matches the DVD region. Note that you can only set the region code for DVD drive five times. So some users choose to remove the region code from DVDs using DVD decrypter software.

* DVD Player app won't recognize a disc. Some users said the DVD they insert kept getting ejected. Why won't the Mac read a DVD? It may be a sign of a dusty DVD drive, try cleaning the lens of the drive. If the problem still exists, try another quick fix - a PRAM reset.
