Converting a MOV file to MP4 using VLC Media Player is a simple process. Here’s a detailed guide:
Step 1: Open VLC Media Player
If VLC is not installed, download it from VLC's official website.
Launch VLC once installed.
Step 2: Access the Convert/Save Menu
Go to the top menu and click on Media.
From the dropdown, select Convert/Save.
Step 3: Add the MOV File
In the Open Media window, click Add and locate the MOV file you want to convert.
After selecting the file, click Convert/Save at the bottom of the window.
Step 4: Set the Output Format
In the Convert window, choose Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4) from the Profile dropdown menu.
This profile ensures the video is converted into the widely compatible MP4 format with the H.264 codec.
Step 5: Customize Conversion Settings (Optional)
Click the wrench icon next to the profile to customize:
Video Codec: Ensure H.264 is selected.
Audio Codec: Select MP3 or AAC for audio.
Save the changes.
Step 6: Choose a Destination File
Under Destination, click Browse to select the folder where you want to save the MP4 file.
Enter a file name with the .mp4 extension.
Step 7: Start the Conversion
Click Start to begin the conversion process.
A progress bar will appear at the bottom of VLC. Wait for the conversion to finish.
Tips for Successful Conversion
Large Files: If the conversion takes too long or fails, ensure your computer has enough processing power and storage space.
Quality Preservation: To maintain the original quality, avoid lowering the resolution or bitrate during customization.
Batch Conversion: For multiple MOV files, add all the files in Step 3, and VLC will process them in sequence.
