If you're looking for an alternative to VLC player, you may try Free WinX Video Converter here: bit.ly/3qnDipx It can convert videos to/from MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, MP3 and more with just 3 steps (load video→choose target format→convert). You can also customize bitrate, frame rate, aspect ratio, resolution, audio codec and etc. Compared with VLC, no additional plugins/downloads are needed. Your choice to try it out.
What conversion did it do, since you started with MP4? I got here looking to change WMV to MP4. I did the selections you showed and ended with WMV, just with a smaller file. I need to end with MP4 for an editing program I have, so no joy.
@@cliffmeier5667 I'm opening it now to check. When you first select convert and save it gives you the option of different preset profiles to start from. In the parentheses on the right hand side of each one of the options listed in the pull down menu, it tells you what it's going to give you. The first option should give you an MP4 file unless something's messed up with it
very clear and need to know instructions. Thanks. Would like videos on copying old digital camera home videos to Mac hard disc
Will this programme cope with videos I have taken off 'CZcams' and convert them, so that they can then be burnt to a DVD-R using ImgBurn, so that the disc can be played on a domestic DVD player. I have been told that DVD Flick will do this, but I wanted to check out other options. I did try VLC but got unsupported format come up on the screen when I tried to play the disc, which means I either got it wrong or VLC won't do it?
Hi there! I need a mp4 file convert to an DVD format. I should chose mpeg (ts) type? And another question is what video codec setings should I chose. Thank you!
i closed the vlc while converting a video, how do i know if it its still converting and do how do i open the vlc player to see the thingy converting? Thanks!
Yes... it worked first time for me (very unusual). Dude, would you consider a "slimmed down" version of this video - without all the superfluous information?
Thanx a lot!
thanks so much
Yea,thanks from me too...really helped me as I was trying to figure out how to make an old video into a brand new one....
Thanks dude! really helpful
when you convert does it erase the original file? thanks!
No your source files remain unchanged. It creates a new file based on the file you give it as a source.
I tried to convert an MPG recording into a MP4 file, I followed everything exactly besides the container and it converted it but gave no footage.
Very good
great video for converting videos from vlc player but if you need an offline media player i think there is no better than AIX Video Player . it work really well

Tnlx for the info. But I have a problem . I am not getting any sound and not all is being converted to the DVD. Could you please help?
same
This method doesn't work with the updated version of VLC Media player.
Sadly this still showed up as "none" in RPG Maker for me :/
Very helpful, thanks. I wonder if WebM still crashes it (not that I need it, just curious). Will try and get back here with the answer...
So I'm at a loss. Trying to do as everyone suggested and I can't get it properly converted. I can't use it for my video editor and if I can get it it looks like crap. Help is there another mkv to mp4 video converter
There's a whole host of video converters you can get for free. You can also find some right on the windows store directly. I think Handbrake (A Program I used to use to RIP DVDs to my computer years and years ago) also converts a whole host of videos from MKV to Mp4. Free.
@@ChupacabraTutorials thank you I had handbrake but apparently forgot about it 😅
I dowloaded the VLC twice and I do not get the same tool bar options to convert a MP4 into that is URL friendly? I hoping tI'm going in the right direction? It doesn't show the MEDIA Tab?
Just to check. Because Ive had a pending updating for VLC for over a year. Seems its still in the same place for me. I pop under "Media" and streaming / Converting media options are down at the bottom of the tab. So maybe yours is just in a funky place? I dont really know. Sorry.
@@ChupacabraTutorials I just ended up finding the link I needed in the end instead if converting. Thank you for you your help anyhow.
Hi, I just looked at your tutorial. My question: Can I convert an analoog (old) VHS cassette to an MP 3 or 4? Thanks for reply.
typically you need a converter that plugs into your pc for that. Comes in a kit with its own software.
thank you. On my Macbook I have VLC. Could you be so kind to give me the brand details of the product I need? Thank you. Kind regards, Jan
Hi, I have an old JVC camcorder and the videos are saved as CED files so I can't open them, I tried using VLC to convert them but it would not work does anyone have any advice on how I could download them?
Generally when I have a funny older video type. I just google for a video converter that can convert it. Depending on the type theres a good chance there's a couple out there that can do the trick. When I google CED Video converter I see 2 results at the top of the search. Ive not tried either of those converters before, so if you do decide to try them, you'll have to make your own call on how legit they look.
If you cant get a video converter specifically for that to work. A lot of camcorders have the same kinda outputs that plug into a TV. You can buy little capture card kits that are designed to let you convert old camcorder footage to mp4. They are typically meant for converting old VHS videos on a VHS player, but many of them also support camcorder capture.
why my vlc dont have the media button and all that
So your source file is already an .mp4 file?
Sure ... this idiot doesnt know WHAT want to show us ... Just for "i have tutorial" ...
what if you convert the low quality video to better quality?
Can't squeeze blood out of a stone.
Can we convert PPT to MP4 in VLC?
PPT? A powerpoint? cant say Ive ever tried. But maybe.
My videos take ages to convert. How do I increase the speed of the conversion?
You'd need a dedicated video converter. Either a free one thats open source, or a paid one. Its slow via VLC because its not a primary function of the software. More of a secondary perk.
@@ChupacabraTutorials What would you recommend?
@@CLC-1000 You could try handbrake. Anyvideo converter Ive used but I forget why I uninstalled it.
@@ChupacabraTutorials Is handbrake free?
@@CLC-1000 yes
Convert to trs file to m3u playlist
doesn't work it just says its unreadable
Hope this aint a virus for me im really scared tbh to do this stuff
It's always a smart idea to be skeptical of the software you download. Especially when its recommended by some random guy on youtube. Because even if that person themselves dont have the goal of giving you a virus. That doesnt mean they didnt give themselves one, and by extension, you.
In this case. You can give VLC a google. Which will likely even have its own wikipedia entry these days explaining what they are, what they do, and who created it. If it was a different piece of software from what looks like a legit company, there's often reviews and additional information about that company if you google them, which will tell you how legitimate they are or arent.
Always pays to do a little extra searching around for info if you feel something might be sketchy. Always trust that feeling, the worst that could happen is you verify its suspect, and don't download it, possibly saving you having to fix your computer.
I know this probably works for some but it certainly did not work for me. Watched an indian guy with a 3 minute tutorial, but then decided to watch yours afterwards for more info. I thought it would work this time but no :( thanks for making this tho cause other people seems to get this to work.
Depending on your needs. Converting files most specifically. There's a host of open source software you can also try for free
THIS DOESNT WORK
I like to listen to people who knows their stuff...
I'm depressed I've been troubleshooting everything I own for the last 5 hours
Everything? What foobar'd all your stuff?
