VLC is the most popular media
player because it plays almost every
format you throw at it. But VLC
Player (for Windows, Mac &
Linux) 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.
