The VideoLAN Forums

Hi, I am not very knowledgeable about media players etc and I am need of some help regarding the copying of videos onto disc. I was using Windows Media Player but thought I might prefer to try VLC after reading a bit about it.

I am trying to copy short videos onto discs. Lots of my videos have the.mov extension and say Quicktime when I hover over them. I noticed, when viewing the videos I had copied onto discs, that the ones that were not .mov copied and replayed fine but the ones that had the Quicktime on them, although they seemed to copy ok at first, when you watch them they are extremely slow and choppy and do not play properly at all.

I assumed, as the obvious difference was the extension that maybe converting them to MP4 like the others would solve the problems...however I have no idea how to do that. I did a search on the forum and found some posts relating to similar subjects but not just what i needed so thought I might try to ask ....

Can anyone guide me through it? Is it possible to do that with VLC? Is it likely that this is the problem anyway?

Thank you.

Start vlc, then CTRL+R - this will open a dialog to convert a video

Thank you.

Is there a way to convert a batch? It lets me add as many as I like to the list but then converts one video and stops, leaving the converted one on the list- so I have to stay with it and wait through the conversion, go back and remove that one from the list and then start the next. any way to set it to do them one after the next?
