Converting a video to MP4 using VLC Media Player is straightforward. VLC supports converting most video file formats into MP4 using the H.264 codec, making them compatible with most devices and software. Here’s how you can do it:
Step-by-Step Guide to Convert a Video to MP4
1. Open VLC Media Player
Launch VLC on your computer. If you don’t have VLC installed, download it from VLC's official site.
2. Go to the Convert/Save Menu
Click on Media in the top menu.
Select Convert/Save from the dropdown.
3. Add the Video File
In the new window, click Add and select the video file you want to convert.
You can also add multiple files for batch conversion.
4. Choose the Conversion Option
After adding the file, click Convert/Save at the bottom of the window.
5. Set the Profile
In the Profile dropdown menu, select Video – H.264 + MP3 (MP4).
This ensures the output file is encoded in MP4 format with the H.264 video codec and MP3 audio codec.
6. Customize the Profile (Optional)
To adjust the output settings, click the wrench icon next to the selected profile.
Video Codec Tab: Ensure H.264 is selected.
Audio Codec Tab: Ensure audio is enabled and set to MP3 or AAC.
Save your changes.
7. Select the Output File Destination
Under Destination, click Browse to choose where the converted file will be saved.
Enter a name for your converted file and ensure it has the .mp4 extension.
8. Start the Conversion
Click Start to begin the conversion process.
VLC will process the file, and the progress bar at the bottom of the window will indicate its status.
Notes and Tips
File Size: The output file size depends on the resolution and bitrate. You can reduce the file size by lowering these settings during customization.
Audio/Video Sync: Ensure proper codec settings to avoid audio and video sync issues.
Advanced Conversions: For more options like changing resolution or frame rate, tools like HandBrake might be better suited.
This method works for most video formats, including AVI, MKV, MOV, and others. #mp4
