Convert video using VLC Media Player

[dart180]

First I would like to say sorry if there is a thread on here for this already.

Does anyone please know how to convert videos using VLC Media Player? I think I have got version 1.1.11 but not too sure sorry.

Thanks any help would be great.

Personally i use FFmpeg that also comes with FFplay...

I use it in my own AutoIt script to covert music videos to mp3 with the help of the Lame encoder.

The AutoIt Script...

$ffmpeg = @TempDir & "\ffmpeg.exe"
$lame = @TempDir & "\lame.exe"


FileInstall(".\ffmpeg.exe", $ffmpeg)
FileInstall(".\lame.exe", $lame)


$input = FileOpenDialog("Open video file", @WorkingDir, "Video files (*.avi;*.mp4;*.flv)", 3)
$wavname = @TempDir & "\vidtomp3wav.wav"
$output = StringTrimRight($input, 3) & "mp3"


FileDelete($wavname)


;... Convert to WAV
$cmd = $ffmpeg & " -i """ & $input & """ -vn -f wav """ & $wavname & """"
$process = Run($cmd)
ProcessWaitClose($process)


;... Convert to MP3
$cmd = $lame & " """ & $wavname & """ """ & $output & """"
$process = Run($cmd)
ProcessWaitClose($process)


FileDelete($wavname)
FileDelete($ffmpeg)
FileDelete($lame)
