For most people, VLC is the favorite media player because it plays everything they throw at it without hiccups. No hunting for codec. But VLC can do a lot of other things as well. Find out how many of these listed below you knew, and how many you did not.

1. Rip DVDs: VLC includes a basic DVD ripper. You probably would never use it when there are better DVD rippers available, but it helps to know that you can in fact, get a decent quality DVD rip with VLC. To rip a movie follow these steps:

  • Go to the Media menu and choose Convert/Save. Click on the Disc tab.
  • Here you can adjust the Starting Position and rip only specific titles or chapters.
  • Enter file name making sure to end with .MPG, and start ripping.
  • Click Save.

2. Record videos: With the new VLC, you can record videos during playback. The record button is hidden by default. To see it, click on View>Advanced Control. The record button will now appear. Clicking on the button while playing a movie or video will start recording. Clicking again will stop recording.

3. Play RAR files: Do you know VLC can play videos zipped inside RAR files? They play like normal video files and you can even use the seek bar. If the RAR file is split into several files, no problem. Just load the first part (.part001.rar ) and it will automatically take the rest of the parts and play the whole file.

4. Play in ASCII mode: VLC media player has an amusing ability, to playback movies in ASCII art. To enable ASCII mode, open VLC media player and click on Tools>Preferences. Open the section “Video” section and under “Output” select “Color ASCII art video output” from the drop down menu. Save it. Now play any video file to enjoy the ASCII art.

5. Listen to online radio: VLC includes hundreds of Shoutcast radio stations. You just need to enable it through Media>Services Discovery>Shoutcast radio listings. Now, open the Playlist and browse through the stations.

6. Convert Audio and Video formats: In VLC you can convert video and audio files from one format to another. Several different formats are supported like MP4, WMV, AVI, OGG, MP3 etc. To access the converter:

  • Go to Media>Convert/Save.
  • Load the file you want to convert using the Add button and click Convert.
  • Now choose the output format and output file location.

7. Download YouTube and other online videos: First grab the URL of the YouTube video page. Now click on Media>Open Network stream. Paste the URL and click Play.

Once VLC starts streaming the video, click Tools>Codec Information and at the bottom of the window you will see a Location box. Copy the URL and paste it on your browser’s address bar. The browser will now download the file which you can save it to your hard disk. Alternatively, you can record the video. (See #2).

Thanks! I've been using VLC for a while and only knew about a couple of these. Some of the things are pretty cool and I'll probably use them in the future.

Nice tip. But the converter thing doesn't work for me. I tried to convert XViD to MPEG-2 but VLC didn't convert it.

    Wow! This is my first time buying an invite from J.Stash (and on InviteHawk) and I am very happy with the results. This is 100% the real deal. I'll keep coming back for more. Thank you so much for putting this site up. This place is a gem!
    GlitterBow6
    An excellent experience from start to finish! J.Stash was very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the entire process. What's more, J.Stash was highly professional and courteous, always taking time to answer any questions that I had. I greatly recommend this seller and would definitely purchase from J.Stash again!!

    J.Stash has my full recommendation. It's rare to work with a seller who possesses and demonstrates not just integrity and quick delivery, but Ethan also went above and beyond when there were issues with the product (not his fault at all). Thank you J.Stash.
    insomniac
    Purchased an invite from J.Stash, the seller was very professional and fast with their turn around times. The price was amazing and the whole site is absolutely amazing. will definitely purchase more from him. I have been searching for an invite for this website for many months and J.Stash solved my request faster than lightning.

    Bought Crunchyroll Premium upgrade from J.Stash It works, my account is now premium and I have access to all the shows! Thanks a lot J.Stash for having this wonderful service among many other amazing services in your portfolio! Highly recommend purchasing from J.Stash! This is one of the many successful orders he has processed for me!

    Registered an account on InviteHawk and placed an order for 6 different trackers with J.Stash Got all of them delivered in less than 60 mins! How does he do it? 🙂 He is brilliantly fast! Absolutely love his service and communication efforts! Thanks J.Stash! You rock 🙂 This has been by far the best experience I have ever had buying invites for private trackers.

    Everything went just perfect. He makes me a very good impression both as person and as professional seller. Glad I found this site and met him virtually here. I wish I could spread the word about, but since this is not quit a good idea, I just want to share with other users here my best appreciations regarding J.Stash. Highly recommended: good communication, safe shop, fast delivery.
    BUTTHEADBILL
    Purchased a Spotify upgrade through him and used bitcoin and found the entire experience to be great. I am a total newbie to this site. And I wasn't sure what to expect. I am so amazed at how fast this was handled and how great everything went.
    renascor
    In all my years of finding affordable services throughout the web, I have found no provider more responsive, more committed to excellent customer service, or more accountable to keeping to the terms of the services being obtained. When something stops working, the issues are addressed ASAP. When any questions arrive, they are responded to promptly. When situations arrive post service rendered even months down the road, J.Stash has your back to help navigate through them. Highly recommended.

    Bought a VIP access to the forum and got exactly what I wanted+more within reasonable time! Second time buying from J.Stash and my experience was exceptional, like last time. Would definitely buy from him again in there near future.
