VLC doesn't play converted videos
Posted: 29 Sep 2024 19:05
Hi,
I sometimes convert Videos with VLC.
This is how I do it: Media -> Convert/Save... -> Add... (then I choose the file) -> Convert/Save (I use the settings of the first profile: "Video - H.264 + MP3 (MP4)") -> browse (I give some name, e.g. click on the old video and change a little bit the name) -> Start
But I can't play the converted video in the VLC player: It shows only that the time is passing, but I don't see any image (only the VLC icon). On the other hand the video is normally played in the Windows Media Player (Version 11.2408.4.0).
So something is "wrong" with videos that are converted to H.264. Or is H.254 something that VLC can create but not play? What can I do to solve the problem?
I've already deleted the folder "%APPDATA%/VLC" to reset the preferences of the convert profiles, but it doesn't change.
I use Windows 11 Pro, but the same problem was already before updating. My VLC version: 3.0.20 Vetinari.
