A Better DVD Player for Mac — Apple World Today

Slip a DVD into a SuperDrive or other optical drive on a Mac, and one thing happens: it launches a hidden app called DVD Player. While the app works as advertised, it doesn’t provide a lot of control. For example, it has issues with DVDs from different regions and can’t rotate the playback screen, display multiple subtitles, or provide ways to edit videos. The solution? A free DVD player for Mac and Windows called 5KPlayer. 

Features of 5KPlayer

5KPlayer is trusted by more than 30 million Mac and PC users worldwide as a free and powerful way to play DVD movie videos. When we say free, we mean free — you’ll never have to buy a license to use the app. 5KPlayer does things that the built-in macOS DVD player can’t do:

• Play 4K / 5K / 1080p HD videos, DVD and streaming radio

• Play MP3 / AAC / APE / FLAC music perfectly

• Wirelessly stream audio/video via AirPlay and DLNA with no quality loss

• Mirror your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via AirPlay and record the mirror

• Play DVDs from all six DVD regions

• Select DVD chapters for playback from a particular point

• Rotate the playback screen

• Take DVD screenshots

• Edit video, including changing playback speed, color balance, and audio

• Download videos, music and subtitles from over 300 sites

Why Download 5KPlayer?

Mac users often find themselves with a variety of video playback and streaming apps to meet their needs. Apple’s own QuickTime Player can handle certain formats, while VLC is a popular open-source media player. For other video download and network streaming solutions, people find themselves downloading µTorrent and similar apps. Want to rotate video or watch foreign videos with subtitles? You’re probably looking at even more apps.

5KPlayer is a hardware-accelerated free movie and video player that can render 4K-5K-8K videos in the MP4, H.265-264, VP8 – VP9, MTS, MKV and FLV formats. Have online streams, HD dashcam videos, phone recordings or multi-region DVDs you wish to watch? 5KPlayer handles them all smoothly without a glitch. 

With an easy to understand user interface, you can accomplish most of your video and audio viewing or listening tasks. As an example, here’s what the main screen looks like:
