VLC differs a bit in its interface from working method to operating system, so I'll guidebook you by means of the strategy I use for all Working Methods. Its a bit spherical-about but it works whichever OS you use.

Commence by opening/working VLC player. Then produce a playlist of files you want to transcode. You initial have to open up a file (video, audio.. any file) prior to you can generate a playlist. Click on on the file menu in VLC, decide on "Open File..." and browse your personal computer for the spot of the files you want to transcode.

Open up the very first in the sequence, or just decide on any file at random.

The moment the file is loaded, open the playlist window if its not by now open. On Windows you do this by clicking "View" then "Playlist...". On Mac OSX you do this by clicking "Window" then "Playlist".

As soon as you have your playlist window open, drag all the files you want transcoded into the Playlist window, generating positive you drag the files, not the folders of the files.

Transcoding your video clip

Transcoding in VLC is done from the streaming/exporting wizard. Depending on your running technique, the menu text is somewhat different but its in the "File" menu, and will have "wizard" in the text.

The subsequent number of screens are pretty self explainatory. In the initial of the screens your introduced with, choose the "transcode/Save to file" selection.

On the up coming display screen select the radial button with the text "Present playlist item" Or if you, like me, skip ninety% of the text of guides and have just jumped right here with out generating a playlist, pick the "choose" button to decide on a file on your laptop or computer to transform.

The up coming screen your offered with provides you all the important options of what form and format to convert your videos into. This is the most critical part, choosing the wrong selection(s) right here will imply your ipod will not be able to play the video clip(s).

To transcode your video clips into a file that the iPod recognises, you need to decide on MP4 as the two the audio and video clip encoding format. I suggest the following configurations:

Video clip

encoder: MPEG 4

bitrate: 256kbps

Audio
encoder: MPEG 4

bitrate: 96-128kbps (some variations don't provide 96kbps)

Right after this display, simply click your way by way of the next display, leaving the default alternative of MP4 as it is. The really very last display screen asks you exactly where to preserve your files, then gives you a button "Transcode" to start the approach.

When you click on "Transcode" VLC will go through every file, nearly as if it was playing them, but rather of playing them on your display screen its being "played" directly onto the disk (if that tends to make any feeling).

The ultimate consequence will be file(s) that can now be played on your iPod. If you had not discovered previously, iTunes wont even allow you to include *.avi files to its library. Now you can add your video clips to your iTunes library and sync it up with your iPod.
