    I’ve used VLC since a kid during the Windows XP era and JUST NOW discovered you can convert video files…

      Same here I have a thing that records videos but they're always in a weird format and I had some proprietary paid for software that would convert that to a playable format but I'm going to try this thing now because the other thing even though it works it's really slow

    Been using VLC for a LONG time and had no idea you could convert files with it, just recently learned I could stream it to my phone. I used Handbrake to convert files, but VLC does it SO much faster. Next time I need to convert something, I'm going to give this a try. Thanks for the great info and advice you give.

    Another awesome video and even though Windows 11 has a built in media player I would still rather use VLC because it is better. Thanks 👍 for sharing the video.

    I used VLC as a media player for years but about 5yrs ago switched over to MPC-BE because I like the interface better. I had no idea VLC could convert files I've been using Handbrake.

    back in the day ,way back when, i used to use dvd shrink to rip video files ,and vlc was always my media player of choice to check for lipsyncing/jumping, for the record i recently redownloaded dvd shrink and opened up a legit dvd on my sons pc to demonstrate it to him ,due to todays pc being much faster i had to enable the preview window in dvd shrink to prevent it from crashing :), when i used it years ago i had to have the preview window OFF or it would crash :) :), nice to see vlc still has its edge even 20 years plus later :) :)

    Have always used VLC this year because when starting a video on Windows Media it always runs for 30 seconds before sound and more than a minute before video appears.

  • @ChrissidellaRosa

    For me, it keeps repeating automatically from the beginning, cannot be stopped at all, and the output file remains an mp3. The message “The output file already exists. If the recording is continued, the file will be overwritten and its content will be lost” appears again and again as a pop up, thanks for your feedback.

    I use FFMPEG for normal conversion, but you need to know how to use a command line program. There are several Windows GUI front ends for it too.

    Sometimes (very often in my cases) only think you need to do is to remux original video, no reencoding necessary.

      ​@@seasonstudios VLC and Handbrake both are based on FFmpeg. So, they can convert any format/codec to anything. But I think there is no targets other than just MP4, MKV and WEBM in handbrake. But at least format/codec of the source file doesn't matter.

    It might do that if you wanted the whole file but try doing a video where you only want seven minutes of it in the middle of the video and watch it go sideways and fail horribly.

    I'm stuck in a loop. After i've converted a file, i'm greeted with this message. "The output file already exists. If recording continues, the file will be overidden and its content will be lost" The two options available are "Overwrite" and "Keep existing file"

    • @Mattsta432
      @Mattsta432 17 днів тому

      It does that if the converted file has the same name and is saved in the same directory as the original
      file. So it's asking if you want to keep the original file or overwrite it with converted file.
      Best way to avoid that is make the file name different to the original, such as adding a hyphen or
      underscore, a number or any other symbols.
