1) Open any video you like using VLC player.

2) Go to View and then click Advanced Controls.

VLC player.

3) There will be a set of option will appear just above the play button.

4) Choose any part of the video that you want to be recorded and this is where the Frame by Frame button will be put to use. It helps you to pinpoint which exact frame that you will be going to start recording.

Yes, it is possible to record a video with VLC media player. This is very useful when you want to record a live stream on your computer. Another useful feature of VLC is to convert videos to another format. Before doing this, make sure you have the latest version. Go to VLC media player then download and upgrade your existing version to the latest.

Next, launch VLC media player then click “Media” and then select “Convert / Save” or press CTRL + R. In “File” tab, click “Add” then select the file you want to convert and then click “Convert / Save”. In “Convert” screen, select a profile from the dropdown list. Click “Browse” then navigate to the folder where you want to save the file, enter the filename, and click “Save”.

Click “Start” to begin the conversion. Wait until the conversion is complete then try playing the converted video to check if the conversion is perfect.
