Best video EVER, I’ve used VLC all my life and never knew it can convert video files... THANK YOU
... really..? This was the first thing I went to when I couldn’t find a codec for media player because I remembered it being a thing when you’d get to the start page on the old macs in 3rd grade.. I’m 20 now
@@northlandgaming8460 I knew it could i just didnt know how many file types it supports its quite an amazing free tool
Lol
This Tutorial actually really helped me out a lot, Recently ive been trying to record Audio files through my computer using the OBS Software and Eliminating any Background noise and muting my microphone so I could get clean audio since I was gonna be playing music for a party I was going to be having, I was actually trying to find multiple ways to try to convert a file until I had found this one and I am proud to say its helped me out a lot and I am really happy that I came across your tutorial! Thank you so much!
Poor information and not accurate....need to click the box in 'audio codec' to keep the original audio AND you need to add .mp4 to the converted video BEFORE you press Start
thank you so much man
Pleaseee someone Give Blue Steel a Medal !
Where do you find the box to click in audio codec?
Watch this video..... ua-cam.com/video/uPWpFPo8YjM/v-deo.html
Thanks for that info. That definitely helped, but now the audio doesn't sync with the video. It seems to be about 1-2 seconds off. Any ideas?
I didn't know this, the power! fam my original file was 4.17 Gb and now its 4.17 Mb and the quality is still clear AF. thank you so much----bro God bless you
lol wtf
@@leexy3395 he isn't lying XD
Brilliant. Still works. Was having problems with MKV not being able to work in Premiere Pro so I converted it. Video looks high quality still like you said.
doesnt work for me. always spits out 'video' with no picture just sound
finally after 8 or more hours THANK U
Thank god for people like you...... Love your vid..... Very clear no grey areas........... And that's the way it should be.
finaly a solution for those strange pixel camera videos
also if you wanna select multiple files at the last step of destination
check the append '-convered ' to filename
this basicly makes it so that the files dont overwrite eachother and you can just drag ur vids after that
Whenever i do it, it turns into a video that cant be played?
Same!
Does it tell you what kind of video format its in? Find out what type of file it is and go from there. You can find out by going into the file's properties
Watch this video..... ua-cam.com/video/uPWpFPo8YjM/v-deo.html
Whatever I do, I can't get this to work.
not a bad guide, but you overlooked that you can't define destination path for a batch convert.
I can get the video to convert but there is not audio. Any idea why?
tried this out and it messed up my file now lost several hours of footage
Yay! I was going to upload my file to some random online free service for whom I would have been the product. Good your video showed high enough on my search results. Thanks :)
How about consecutive files and order of presentation.
hmm...I've done exactly what you say but it doesn't convert. It only places an empty and correctly named file at the correct destination. If I go to play it I get this popup: This file isn't playable. That might be because the file type is unsupported, the file extension is incorrect, or the file is corrupt. 0xc10100be
Simple and easy to understand. Your a lad.
so does anyone know why it just doesn't work for vegas after that?
I did it, and lost the audio, plus adobe doesn't recognize the mo 4 that has been converted
Finally, a tutorial that is straightforward.
It works but the converting took alot of time like hours. Any quicker way?
The first few movies I converted: mkv to mp4 turned out fine, but now - and the last few times I have tried the conversion, it "finishes" but the conversion is incomplete - e.g. in the latest try, I have 0.98 GB out of 2.67 GB while the conversion has just stopped before completion. When I click on it (the black VLC conversion screen), I get the message: "The output file already exists. If recording continues, the file will be overridden and its content will be lost". If I click on "keep" the file just stays at 0.98 GB {and is unwatchable). If I click on "overwrite", the same old sh*t just happens again and I end up with a useless 0.98 GB blank file.
Every time I do this it just copies the video file unconverted into wherever the destination path was set to, except no audio.
I love it when a tutoral that could have been 10 seconds is stretched to 3mins.
"Hey guys whats going on! today, *explains whats he's doing even thought it says it in the title* Then *Explains why he's doing it* Then *explains why you're probably doing it*
no sound when i convert how do i fix that
Me too
Thanks a lot, but I'm having some issues. The video doesn't play any sound. What should I do ?? i followed the exact same procedure more than twice, but still, no sound..Help...!!
doesent work at all! all my files are just a few kb in size
Exactly what I needed, thank you!
Im having a problem, after converting it doesn't have the audio. I tried ticking the box that says keep orginal track but still broken
Thanks, I have tons of rare South Park TV recordings from the late 90s to the late 2000s and they’re in the RM file format.
Done this exact method, does not work.

I try this but it doesnt show the bar loading it shows a bouncing bar and never fully saves. It once worked this same way but suddenly not anymore
How can you covert a mp4 file to url to place on say wordpress?
Is this the latest version of VLC? My program does NOT open with the same screen you are showing...help?
It works, there just isn't any sound
Yeah theres no sound and m video is cut Waaaaaay shorter than it should even be. It shouldn't even be cut! What the heck kind of converter is this?
The first frames of converted video were a bit corrupted - green colored.
Nah. I downloaded it and didn’t even get the menu at the top left corner.
in my opinion Flac and WaW is the purest sound quality. to bad you cant set 19200khz but only 48000khz. 32 bitrate is the fastest up to date i think. but this prob also depends on what stereo or surround sound system you have.
I click "start" and the window closes and doesn't do a damn thing. 🤷♂️
Watch this video..... ua-cam.com/video/uPWpFPo8YjM/v-deo.html
It works well for me, the only problem I have is that the audio is way late, does not match the video and it is hard to follow the movie. Any idea what can I do to coordinate both audio and video.?
Trying to use this to convert old DVD's of my childhood into mp4 files. The issue is the audio plays in the app but does not convert
Brilliant! So easy. Thank you.
Couldn’t get it to work. Followed the steps exactly and my vlc kept freezing. Gave up
this really helped, mainly because I didnt know what the bar on the bottome did (ima noob)
It doesn't work. VLC shuts down and creates only audio file in the selected folder...
thanks man! what is the deal with the smaller file size, something must have been lost in order to shrink the file size by 75%, no?
Hey when I want to convert MKV to MP4 I cant !
how come the file size gets smaller, despite the format being the same (mp4)?
So, you converted an .mp4 file to .mp4
THe interface is different on a Mac and did not work for me.
this is grt video it helped but now after converting it doesn't show video only audio how to fix this,
If I do as you say, then nothing happens. A file is created with the name I've chosen at the place I selected but it has a size of 0 bits.
so i have an issue, when i convert it, at some point it skips the rest of the video or makes the rest of the video unplayable
Wait, isnt .avi is better than .mp4 ? Doesnt it have better quallity?
with cnx player you dont need to convert files as its plays every videos easily
I’ve tried converting some files but the icons stay as the VLC logo and won’t play back - any ideas as to why?
Everytime Ive download a new movie that cant play on my Sharp TV... I will go to VLC and convert the video to MP4 even its already MP4 format, there is already some codec that the file cant play on your TV. I always got 90% success when converting the movie with unsupported signal format issue... But some I converted and had succesfully play to my LED TV... There is only 1 movie that it cant play how many times I convert it or MAybe its in the resolution or bitrate i choose..
The problem I'm having is I've used the video capture to record VHS tape into the MP4 format and the audio only plays on VLC player and no other video players. I was hoping this would fix it, but the MP4 file still wont play audio on other players??? Can anyone help! Thanks!
Having this issue as well. Did you find any fixes?
@@scalewithsales2615 Yes, I actually just figured out what was wrong. The answer is right here at 1:48 go to: Audio Codec ...and then Encoding Parameters as you can see in the video, and on the Codec option, set it for MP3 ...my default setting was at: MPEG Audio, which was not readable on other programs(Video editors, TV, MP4 players etc.) Make sure the Codec is set to the " MP3 " and it should play the audio in other programs/formats etc.
whatever i convert just turns into a black mp4 file with the audio i need a MP3 not a mp4
What a great share, would you have the interests to do another test&review on another video converter？
Well, this has been up for over a year and you haven't answered ONE QUESTION!!!
Watch this video..... ua-cam.com/video/uPWpFPo8YjM/v-deo.html
I followed the steps but don’t have sound? Please help
Why is it taking hours to convert a 1hour and 25 minute video? over 10 hours?
Does this convert and export the video with the saved settings under tools>effects and filters>compressor tab?
You explain in a way so that one can understand really well, you get a thumbs up buddy.
Recommend a lightweight video converter: Aicoosoft Video Converter
Doesn't work.
It keeps coming out as MKV flie.
I can play .asf files at 8x speed no problem, but .mp4 only work now at 0.67x, used to go up to 2x which was too slow anyway. If I convert .mp4 to say .avi will I bee able to play it at 8x speed?
my video is not playing after i did the steps you have told.
When I try to do it instead of saying convert/save it said cancel open
My file will not convert. Oh yes, it will generate a new file. But the "new" file will be the same format as the original.
instead of mp4 my file is being saved as m4v and quicktime will not open it?
why is the audio missing after converter?
Excellent, thank you very much for your help, much appreciated.
followed this to change .mov into .mp4 and the mp4 has no sound... any ideas?
Kim Murphy same here... try using handbrake
just go into the audio codec section and mark the box that says "keep original audio" or something like that
@@alejandromaciel8031 Dude thank you so much! because of you I have now got audio on my videos after conversion. Been looking around for ages, watched lots of videos and your one comment helped me more than the freakin videos lmao this comment thread needs to be a top comment to save everyones blimmen time thank you!
@@bmxbeau1 np man, glad it helped :D
@@alejandromaciel8031 when i do that i still dont hear the audio
I made a 22 minute video so will it take 22 minutes to finish converting from mp2 to mp4
It just keeps saying the output file already exists and won’t convert
YES same here
Select a different folder or rename the file
Your video really helped. Thanks a lot!
I’m trying to convert a 45MB 4K 60fps video to mp4 but after it’s done converting it doesn’t play and is only 1.14KB
Seems like the file changed really bad. If you haven't found a way to convert yet, have you tried online converters?

Hi, I keep on loosing the quality and the clarity of the videos when I convert them from VOB to MP4. any advises please?
When I transferred to DVD it played on my computer, but not on tv. Message says it's music only, but there isn't music on DVD as it's an old Cine film I'm trying to convert.
you need to format to .mpeg to play on tv
the bar does not show up
I don't have media in the left corner .aghhh
I did all that, but no sound. Bummer.
You're a legend, thank you for the video!!!
how i can set this gpu acceleration ?
If its a movie its takes 4 hoursxto concert it 🥺
Excellent explanation thanks a lot man
hi I have problem
it said
Streaming / Transcoding failed:
It seems your Libav/FFmpeg (libavcodec) installation lacks the following encoder:
H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10).
If you don't know how to fix this, ask for support from your distribution.
uninstall and reinstall VLC
Hello! i used vlc for converting the video but the quality of the files really decreased a lot after converting. do you know if thats possible to keep the quality through the VLC and how? thanks in advance
if you click the ratchet next to the dropdown list you can change the bitrate to a higher value which will maintain higher video quality. if you really need higher picture quality you can sacrifice framerate and resolution
at 0:37 you were showing a video of the vlc thingy how do i get that video ? :P
How much time it take for 24 min video which is of 250mb
I tried converting a video that was an hour long to mp4, but it only converted 24 secs of the video
I'm having the same problem. 40-odd-minutes of video but only 16 minutes converted.
Great explanation! Thanks!
Very good, thanks man! :D
Recording did not work completely for me, it ended up being in Spanish and video was not smooth.
