How to Play Disney+ Video on VLC?
VLC is an open-source media player software and also an academic project for streaming video, which began in Paris in the mid-1990s. Why VLC is still popular now is that it runs under all popular operating systems and supports a wide variety of video formats. As a fan of VLC and Disney+, you may have tried to play the downloads of Disney+ on VLC. The result turns out negative all the time. The fact is that the downloaded videos on the Disney+ app are encrypted so that they are only playable within the app. If you want to play your favorite Disney+ movies or shows on VLC, you need to download them in MP4 or MKV format. It is obvious that the downloads on the Disney+ app are not in these two formats. Luckily, we are going to introduce a wonder video downloader, which can help you download all the Disney+ videos that you want in MP4 or MKV format so that you can play them on VLC or any other media player as you like.
This powerful video downloader is named DispCam. And in the following, we will show you what DispCam can do and how to use DispCam to download the wanted videos in a playable format and play them on VLC step by step.

Moreover, DispCam provides two options of video codec: H.264 and H.265. The H.265 version will take up half as much storage space as the H.264 version in the same video.

Download Disney+ Video with DispCam and Watch Them on VLC
Before playing Disney+ videos on VLC, what you need to do is save the videos on your PC first. Now we'll tell you how to use DispCam to download videos from the Disney Plus website to your computer. Please download and install the latest version of DispCam on your computer before proceeding with the steps below.
Step 1. Sign in to Disney+
The first thing you have to do is sign in to Disney+ with your account. If you miss this, you can't search for the video you want later. Run DispCam, type any word into the search box and press the "Enter" key on your keyboard. Please enter your Disney Plus account on the "sign-in" window to access the service. Please be aware that DispCam doesn't support Hotstar.
Step 2. Set the General Settings on Output Format, Video Quality, and More
In the top right corner of the screen, click the Settings icon. You can configure the video format, video quality, subtitle language, and output path on the page shown below.
Step 3. Search for Disney Plus Movies or TV Shows
After closing the settings window, delete the random words you entered before and key in the name or URL of the video that you want to download. DispCam will find the related videos shortly.
Step 4. Customize the Advanced Settings
To download a movie, there is an icon next to the "Download" icon. Please click this icon to select the video quality and file size, as well as audio tracks and subtitles in a variety of languages.
To download a TV show, click the "Download" icon first, then select the season and title that you want to download (here is the batch mode), then click the Advanced Download button and configure the advanced settings.
Step 5. Download Movies or TV Shows on PC
When you click the Download button, DispCam will begin downloading the videos you've chosen. The download process will be seen on the right side of the program.

Conclusion
Disney Plus lets you play its content online or offline, but watching downloads can be only achieved within the Disney+ app. You can’t play Disney+ movies and TV shows on VLC directly. However, if you use DispCam to get all the wanted videos downloaded on your computer, you will be free from Disney Plus’ limits, which means you can watch them on VLC at your will.
Note: The free trial version of DispCam allows you to download the first five minutes of each video. To download the full video, you may need to subscribe to DispCam to unlock the limitation.
