To enable a successful playback, insert the DVD into the disc drive and the DVD player for Mac will automatically play the movie. But for newer MacBook Air/Pro, it may be a little bit tricky as there is no hard drive. Here we share two ways on how to watch DVD on Mac without DVD drive: external DVD drive or best DVD ripper for Mac.
Way 1: Buy an External Hard Drive
Since there is no built-in disc drive in your Mac, you can get an external DVD drive for DVD playback on Mac. Apple provides a USB SuperDrive at £65 that works on iMac, Mac mini, MacBook Pro with Retina Display or MacBook Air. If the Mac DVD hard drive not working for you, there are many other DVD drives available at cheap price. Then you can watch the DVD with a Mac DVD player as normal.
Way 2: Rip DVDs to MP4, MOV, M4V etc
Taking an external disc drive, or the cumbersome DVD discs will increase the burden when you are in travel or on the fly. So there is another more convenient option for you: rip the DVDs and play movies on Mac computers on the go. There are many tools for this job, here we will recommend you MacX DVD Ripper Pro. It works on Mac (macOS Sierra) and Windows (10) to rip any homemade/protected movies to MOV, MP4, M4V, AVI etc for free playback on any QT, VLC, KMPlayer without region code limits or any other trouble. It's fast with no quality loss.
Notice: The DVD ripper developer only advocates using this self-contained Mac DVD ripper to rip and convert DVDs for legal personal use, instead of illegal reproduction or distribution of copyrighted content. Please obey your local DVD copyright law before doing it. DO NOT do harm to others' lawful rights and interests.

How to install Windows 10 on Mac
To install Windows, use Boot Camp Assistant, which is included with your Mac.
1. Check your Secure Boot setting
Learn how to check your Secure Boot setting. The default Secure Boot setting is Full Security. If you changed it to No Security, change it back to Full Security before installing Windows. After installing Windows, you can use any Secure Boot setting without affecting your ability to start up from Windows.
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition
Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions.
- If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
- When Boot Camp Assistant asks you to set the size of the Windows partition, remember the minimum storage-space requirements in the previous section. Set a partition size that meets your needs, because you can't change its size later.
3. Format the Windows (BOOTCAMP) partition
When Boot Camp Assistant finishes, your Mac restarts to the Windows installer. If the installer asks where to install Windows, select the BOOTCAMP partition and click Format. In most cases, the installer selects and formats the BOOTCAMP partition automatically.
4. Install Windows
Unplug any external devices that aren't necessary during installation. Then click Next and follow the onscreen instructions to begin installing Windows.
5. Use the Boot Camp installer in Windows
After Windows installation completes, your Mac starts up in Windows and opens a ”Welcome to the Boot Camp installer” window. Follow the onscreen instructions to install Boot Camp and Windows support software (drivers). You will be asked to restart when done.
- If the Boot Camp installer never opens, open the Boot Camp installer manually and use it to complete Boot Camp installation.
- If you have an external display connected to a Thunderbolt 3 port on your Mac, the display will be blank (black, gray, or blue) for up to 2 minutes during installation.
