You may think that Apple\u2019s DVD Player app disappeared with macOS Mojave in 2018. It hasn\u2019t and can be found in macOS Catalina, but Apple apparently wants you to think it has, even though the software has been upgraded to 64-bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The easiest way is to use Spotlight. Click the little Spotlight icon in the upper right corner of your Mac\u2019s screen. Search for DVD Player, and the app\u2019s icon will appear at the top of the Top Hits. Double click on the icon and the app will launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
