3 Things You Dont Know About Your Vlc Media Player

VLC is the most popular media player because it plays everything of almost every format, but VLC can do a lot more things of which a normal user does not know about.

1) Rip DVDs: You probably would never use it when there are better DVD rippers available, but it helps to know that you can in fact, get a decent quality DVD rip with VLC.

To rip a movie follow these steps:

Go to the Media menu and choose Convert/ Save.

Click on the Disc tab.

* Here you can adjust the Starting Position and rip only specific titles or chapters.
* Enter file name making sure to end with .MPG, and start ripping.
* Click Save.
* Its done!

2) Record videos:
With the new VLC, you can record videos during playback. The record button is hidden by default. To see it, click on View -> Advanced Control. The record button will appear.

Clicking on the button while playing a movie or video will start recording. Clicking again will stop the recording.

3) Convert Audio and Video formats:
In VLC you can convert video and audio files from one format to another. Several different formats are supported like MP4, WMV, AVI,OGG, MP3 etc. To access the converter:
* Go to Media -> Convert/Save.
* Load the file you want to convert using the Add button and click Convert.
* Now choose the output format and output file location.

You are on point dear, keep it up.

How low Nairaland has gotten to the point they encourage illegalities. The kind of threads making the homepage when better topics, like the below links, are hidden away.
