The VideoLAN Forums

Greetings,

I have a few videos that can be played with VLC but resist to open by any other software that I have tried. As it would be useful to me to standarize video types in order to edit them, I would like to know if there is a way to save a video file (let's say is an AVI file with an Ogg format and a DivX 5 codec) to another format, (let's say compatible with a video editing software)?

Thanks

Irrespective of what the solution is to save with VLC,
You shd use the free software SUPER. It converts zillion video formats to zillion other formats. http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html

Perfect for making videos ,editing compatible.

Hope this is of use to you.

Yes its possible to save to another format using VLC.

Open your VLC player and hit CTRL+W or goto FILE->Wizard in the Menu.
Choose 'Transcode/Save to File'. Press Next.

Follow the wizard ,select the format & save the file.
