There is nothing that I love more than a simple instruction video! Looking online there are tons of options to convert but nothing points to VLC. I always forget how useful VLC is, and the crazy thing is I used OBS to actually record this video but since it was my first time I didn't spend the time learning it to see that it actually can do this same thing. With you adding that information at the end, now I know! And knowing is half the battle! Thanks so much for the videos. Saved me a lot of time. I recorded an 8-hour video that I need to edit parts out and it was recorded in MKV.

For those having the problem where the file keeps converting to another MKV file, the fix is to rename the file so that '.mkv' is not in the file name. So the part at 3:40 in the video - make sure that you are not keeping the same file name (delete '.mkv' from the file name) so that the VLC program corrects your file to a '.mp4'

When I tried to convert it into MP4, I only got the video but not the audio that goes with it.

Thank you for the easy tutorial! I'm an OBS noob, and had no idea I needed to do something to make it record as MP4 instead of MKV! You just saved me $80 from buying a converter! 🙌🏻😊

I have an issue with this. Mine does this weird thing where, in VLC it plays the converted file as audio, unless I scrub the time line. If I play it in Media Player, it plays it as video and not audio.

Many thanks for the clear tutorial. Any thoughts on why my recently taken vids are much smaller than the older ones (I'm talking 4900kb vs 160000kb) Also the smaller files only play audio in Windows media player? Any help would be appreciated. Keep it up, thanks again.

I did it but if i convert with the First option for mp4 : the vlc doesnt start it;
Then if i convert with the second one : the video starts but the audio is not the same as the Labial
Why?

How do you select different audio tracks when exporting?

I have an mkv with more than one audio track and when it gets exported as an mp4, it comes out mute.

[LetsGetHaunted]

I have a MacBook and rather than "convert/save" it says "convert/stream". When I try to convert the mkv to mp4, it converts the file but with no audio. Any tips?

[Rockabillyman]

I converted the mkv file to mp4 using VLC media player, but when I play the mp4 file after it converted, there is no sound.

[nuniyoa]

i've been waiting on my conversion for like an hour now or something and when i check the file properties it says it's at 0 bytes :( would this be file size related?

[jaimesanchez]

On my how do I add 3 vlc files together and then convert it to an mp4 file I can save?

[ruipedro]

Hello, maybe you can explain why when I want to convert an AVI file to MP4, my VLC Player converts to MKV?! What can I do to resolve this issue?
