While most of the people use it only to watch videos and movies there&#8217;s more to the software than meets the eye. VLC media player is the most popular of all media players out there and can run any video format you throw at it but VLC can do lot more than just play videos on your hard drive. Its like a bunch of multiple software in one and one by one I&#8217;ll tell what are the other things for which you can use VLC Media Player. So lets get started &#8230;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"steps\">5. Set a Video Desktop Wallpaper<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-571\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image1.jpg?resize=960%2C540\" alt=\"vlc-media-player-image1\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWell this is one of the most popular trick that VLC can do which most other media player can&#8217;t even think of. Here most of the people might know this trick but for those who don&#8217;t know I must tell you; Yes! you can set a video wallpaper on your desktop just as you might set a image. In just simple ways you can set a video wallpaper.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open a video using VLC Media Player<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Video<\/strong> option in the Menu Bar<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Set as Wallpaper<\/strong> option to set a video wallpaper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Well the previous versions of VLC media player did played videos behind icons just like a wallpaper but the newer version don&#8217;t do so.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"steps\">4. Convert and Rip Videos<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-574\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image2.jpg?resize=494%2C400\" alt=\"vlc-media-player-image2\" width=\"494\" height=\"400\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t think most of you might know this but you can actually convert videos using your VLC Media Player software. While there are many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.filehippo.com\/software\/multimedia\/edit_convert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">free video converters<\/a> out there on the internet but why download them if you have VLC Media Player. Even converting videos on VLC is simple compared to other video software.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open VLC Media Player<\/li>\n<li>Select <strong>Media<\/strong> from Menu Bar and select <strong>Convert\/Save<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Under file option add a video you wish to convert.<\/li>\n<li>After you&#8217;ve added a video hit <strong>Convert\/Save<\/strong> button at the bottom<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll now be greeted with a video settings window. Follow the steps shown in the image to select appropriate output video settings.<\/li>\n<li>Select the location you want to store the video and start conversion. Voila! your video will be converted without using any external software.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-575\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image3.jpg?resize=804%2C400\" alt=\"vlc-media-player-image3\" width=\"804\" height=\"400\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p><!--CusAds0-->\n<h3 id=\"steps\">3.

You just don&#8217;t need to download any external software to do that.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open a video of your choice in VLC Media Player<\/li>\n<li>Click on <strong>Tools<\/strong> from Menu bar and select <strong>Effects and Filters<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Now you&#8217;ll see an Adjustments and Effects window through which you can change various audio and video aspects of a video file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Must See: <a title=\"How can you download Facebook Videos\" href=\"http:\/\/alltechtrix.com\/blog\/download-facebook-videos\/\" target=\"_blank\">How can you download Facebook Videos<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"steps\">2.

Play videos from Youtube on VLC<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-580\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/alltechtrix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/vlc-media-player-image6.jpg?resize=900%2C389\" alt=\"vlc-media-player-image6\" width=\"900\" height=\"389\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWell this is my favorite VLC trick which I have saved for the last. You can view Youtube videos right on your VLC media player. All you need to do is Open the <strong>Media<\/strong> menu from VLC Media Player&#8217;s menu bar. select <strong>Open Network Stream<\/strong> option, a new window will open where you can paste your Youtube video URL and play the video. Ahh not just Youtube but you can play any other videos from the Internet on VLC media player by just using the video URL.<\/p>\n<p>Well you use VLC media Player then surely my post would be a lot helpful for you but if you don&#8217;t have VLC you can download the latest version from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.videolan.org\/vlc\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Must See: <a title=\"How to Change your Processor Name\" href=\"http:\/\/alltechtrix.com\/blog\/change-processor-name\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to Change your Processor Name<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you liked the post do share it on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
