Depends on what you mean by "DVD player".


If you mean a set top DVD player like the ones you connect to a TV, then none of those will work.


If you mean an DVD disc drive to read CDs and DVDs on a computer, then pretty much any external USB DVD drive should work with Mojave.


I use a Gotega branded one with my Mac:

But you can sue anything else, like Dell, HP or even Apple's own super drive though they don't make it anymore.
