Windows 10 does not support DVDs. If you want to play DVDs on your computer oh, you have to download a video player with the right codex. One of the video players that I seen that would work is VLC media player. I didn't even download it, not yet. Just was curious about how to play DVDs on my computer. Now today on YouTube, this is in my suggestions 4 videos and I would like. 15 cool features of VLC media player. There has been times where I was talking to a friend about something. Not even online. And then all the sudden I get advertisements for what we were talking about. Of course I have my phone on me all the time and of course it has the Google Assistant. Google is listening to you whether you have the assistant on or not.

when I convert my mkv or mp4 file to mp3 or flac using your directions exactly I get a pop up that repeatedly says that I can either keep the file I have or continue and the file will be over written. No matter what I click it pops right back up a second later with the same options. I press keep file and when the pop up disappears I quickly press stop, if I dont it wont let me close out VLC. When I go into my folder where the mp3 or flac is stored from the conversion there the length is always 00:00:00. What am I doing wrong...I followed your directions exactly.

Much as I like VLC, the bookmarks feature is by far the most idiotic and useless one I've ever seen in any program: when you close VLC the bookmarks are GONE. What WOULD be useful: save the bookmarks when you close a video, and retrieve them when you reopen that video. Even better: create a shortcut to a video which includes the bookmark, so that when you doubleclick the shortcut VLC opens the video at the bookmark. This seems so basic functionality to me, yet AFAIK it's not in VLC, and I also haven't heard of it elsewhere. CMIIW.

VLC's GOOD. I'll give you that - or I wouldn't have been using it for the past 15 years. I still use Idealshare Videogo for converting files 'cos it's never let me down to play clap videos on my wafer TV yet. But you still need to be a Wiz. to get rid of the bots that come with Videogo. Nice try Videogo, but I wasted too many years on that sort of stuff. When VLC can capture ANY video you watch, just the bitstream rather than just your whole darned screen - that'll be the day!

Only drawback using VLC for screen recording is that it doesn't captures mouse pointer and record sound/audio. If you are using Win10 then the best free alternative to do this is using Xbox control overlay. Just press [WinKey] + G and the overlay controls will popup. From there you can click on Capture (small camera icon) in the toolbar. This will capture both your mouse pointer and sounds. Have fun. You are most welcome!

Nice Video that summarizes all cool features. In addition to these mentioned, I found 3 more features 1] Repeat a section of video to run in infinite loop. 2] Watch a section of video, frame by frame 3] Extract only audio mp3 portion of video using Convert feature. Although you did mention convert feature but video to audio conversion may be worth mentioning separately.

VLC is the worst video player I ever used. It won't save settings, shortkeys only work in one language - every time you have to switch from one language input to another, simple HD videos are played as if they were 8k heavy, all menu is too much to handle, player freezes every time I try to skip few seconds... Absolutely terrible. Don't use it.

I knew about a couple of them, but still they are buried in a maze of options that are not particularly clear or intuitive. Is great to have, but probably those who use the additional options usually use specific software which is designed for that. And if they have a free software or already payed for a version of it, should probably keep using it.

Anybody know how to change the ratio screen size. I have an old video from the late 1970's and originally would have been in 4.3 screen size with the black bars on either side. This I have in 16.9 ratio screen size so it's stretched the picture. I want to put it back in the original 4.3 ratio. anybody help how to do this with VLC please.?
