You have to do software ejection. The physical button will not longer work/operate while your dvd is playing to prevent it being randomly ejected while burning/playing. What I would try is drag the dvd icon to the trash can and it will eject the disk, or through finder.
Also to mention yes it does work. If it reads DVDs is should also write to them and work floawlessly. I have broken DVDs drives and it was not pleasant. It was mostly a software issue. This is why I despise Mac’s so much.
@@TomLeemanyou have a software problem, it's not a hardware issue. Don't blame the hardware when you are using weird DVDs that you have made yourself with who knows what software....... When it was written by whatever software you created it with it probably did not use certain standards for creating DVDs. You may not even have a DVD at all it might be a vcd which is simply video on a CD. Different files structures or non-existent file structures might be the bigger issue. It's not finding any. It may have no .VOB files or .IFO probably on the disc. More information is needed about the disc you were trying to read before you can blame the hardware. It appears that hardware is working perfectly fine but you're not using the right software or the disk was not created the correct way to work outside of a specific scenario it was probably created to work for back when it was made. Also if you open the contents of the desk under your file browser, whatever Mac calls that...... Actually look at the contents on that disc instead of trying to play it with a type of app it's totally possible to video files you are after are probably on the desk but it's just confused about how to correctly play it according to the standards Apple plays disc with. Just because it's not initiating playback doesn't mean the files aren't there. Open the contents of the actual disk that it does see in your file browser and you could probably find the video files on it that you need. From there it should be as easy as saving those files to a different location like your drive. Assuming of course he went to digitize these and get them onto a hard drive and off of the old not really used any more physical media.

It is working , you just need different software to play the dvd
Apple did not have it at the App Store
Mine doesn't. MacBookPro won't recognize. POS.
VLC? I don't know what VLC experience is like on Apple but VLC plays DVDs perfectly fine on windows.
What kind of software would play a DVD on a MAC?
doesnt work for me either - I tried vlc as well , no luck
Yeah, I had to send this thing back
Mine did the same thing but when I used VLC ap the video worked fine
I couldn’t get the thing to work

Mine works with my iMac 24
I could not get my computer to recognize this for some reason. It also doesn’t recognize a lot of microSD cards that have a strong format.
