Step 6. Once everything is set to your preference, click on the Start button. The conversion
process will take some time. After completion, you can find your converted file in the
destination folder you had selected.
The video converter feature in VLC media player is as good enough as any other
professional video converters available. You can even edit the video parameters like frame
rate, bitrate, codecs etc. Audio formats are also supported; VLC media player can convert
video to audio if you set the output file to an audio format like mp3.
VLC media player can be a substitute for professional video converters if your needs are
minimal and basic. Of course there are a lot more features available on the dedicated
video converters like batch conversion and support for many more file profiles. If you need
to convert many video files simultaneously for professional use, it is better to use some
other video converter. VLC media player lacks the ability to convert multiple files at once
(batch conversion). So, if you want to convert multiple files, you will have to find some
other video converter. That’s the only drawback of this tool that I noticed, if you are fine
with that limitation, you can use VLC media player as your primary video converter.
