Then it is not a big problem to rename the output files manually and everybody is happyįurther improvements could contain also the destination filename prefix allowing to use various expansions: filename, counter, date, time. \3 of 3 2.mkv.mp4 <<< the file with added counter \3 of 3 2.mkv.mp4 <<< if the file already exists, then do not overwrite it, use the counter If there were the same sources' filenames or existing files in the output folder, then the counter could be prepended to filename. Then the button could generate multiple transcoding tracks in VLC playlist with multiple destinations: filenames according to sources' filenames in one output folder with new filename extension prepended according to selected transcoding profile. If there were multiple sources, then the Convert dialog could ask for " Output folder" instead of "Destination file".

The MPEG2 must be converted to some other format such as MP4 in order for the filter to be added.ģ) Alternatively the "filters" could be removed from the "transcode"/"convert" profiles, and notes could be added to warn that they are only available to use on the display stream. Presently it is only possible to use a filter if the video is converted.įor example it is not possible to filter MPEG2 video input and save it as MPEG2 video output. Typically messages report that the codec is "missing" if (and only if) a filter is selected.Ģ) Filters could be applied without necessarily converting the video to another format. Many completely fail when selected with a conversion to file. Presently many of them only work on the display (eg. In particular it would simplify things if:ġ) All filters behaved the same regardless of whether the video is being displayed or transcoded to file. Many of these seem to be historical hangovers, with little/no documentation and odd bugs. While we are discussing GUI complexity can I please request that some attention be paid to the "filters" which can be selected in the "profiles" or in the "preferences".

That thing must be automaticaly batch down the whole file list from its own over night. I dont like to sit all day before my computer and get EVERY SINGLE FILE AND WAIT FOR THE NEXT to convert

M2t files i get from my DVB-T video, i like to crunch it smaler to the mp4īut gentleman, im not a profi to know such parameters and at least The mess how vlc handle it NOW is not suitable for the good name of VLC

That function shoud be corrected or implented as soon as possible. Gentleman, i am not a video profi, and i dont get it to seperate alls Parameters in converting to write such a batch.Īll i want is to select an directory and change / convert all files selected to the same name as before in. If i try to convert all the m2t to mp4 - and PUT IT TO THE SAME NAME like the original except from now as.
#Enable multiple vlc windows#
I am also disapointet on how the Windows VLC handels this BATCH conversation thing. But why not implement this properly in the VLC media player application (the GUI)? Other answers I have seen are to use the command line and write your own batch script. I've already searched this forum for the issue and found other posts but they don't have an answer:īatch transcode. So, what's the point of allowing multiple selection of input source files when you can only specify one output file? Seems like incomplete feature to me. I would have expected it to allow me to specify a destination file for EACH of the source input files.Īn even better approach would be to have a table UI widget: one column source input files, the other column the destination converted files. I can select multiple input files as shown in the above window.īut then, when I go to select 'convert/save' at the bottom of the Window, another Window appears which only lets me specify ONE file.
#Enable multiple vlc mac#
the GUI version, the Windows / Mac application) allow selection of multiple source/input files for conversion, but NOT allow the user to to specify the name of the destination file for each of these input files? What's the point of allowing this multiple selection for only the input files? Seems like this is an incomplete feature. Why does the VLC Media Player application (i.e. I want to batch/bulk convert multiple video files from one format/codec to another. VLC player convert does not allow multiple destination files
