When I try to convert .FLV video files to .WMV the output file is audio-only using vlc media player windows v 1.0.0.
This happens regardless of the "keep original video track" checkbox setting in the video codec tab of the profile. I have not chosen anything from the Tools menu or changed any preferences from the defaults there.
I would like to know if I am using VLC correctly and, if possible, to find a reference for working examples of the "profiles" configurations for different types of video output, e.g. mp3, avi, etc.
Here is what I do:
open vlc (this was downloaded a few days ago, maybe July 15)
from menu, select media > convert/save
on "open media" panel, click add... > browse to input file (file has previously played ok; have tried with several different files)
(did not use subtitles or change "show more options" settings)
on "open media" panel, click convert/save
on "convert" panel, use browse interface to enter destination filespec as [path\filename].wmv
(usually do display output [not]; if display output [x], then only audio is played)
select profile="Video - WMV + WMA (ASF)"
settings on profile tabs are defaults, except I have tried with/without "keep original video track"...
encapsulation=wmv,
video codec: video [x], keep original video track [x] (or not), codec=wmv2, bitrate=800 kb/sec, frame rate=0 fps, scale=1, width=0, height=0,
audio codec: audio [x], keep original audio track [not], codec=wma2, bitrate=128 kb/s, channels=2, sample rate=44100,
subtitles: subtitles [not]
hit start
player activates briefly if display output [not] or for entire file duration if if display output [x]
output file size is about 10% of input file and plays ok as audio
Am I doing something wrong here?
Also, as i may have changed them while experimenting, what are defaults for profile "Video - H.264 + AAC (TS)", or how do I get defaults back?
Thanks for your help. This is a great piece of work!
