VLC 1.0.1 as Video Converter

I have an AVI video file that couldn’t be imported in to Corel VideoStudio Pro X2. I guess the problem lies within the codec used in that video file; using Media-Info, I found out that the codec used in this AVI file are: Advanced Video Codec for Video and Microsoft ADPCM for audio. I tried converting this AVI video file using Windows Media Encoder, Windows Movie Maker, but they couldn’t recognize the AVI file either. So, I use the free VLC’s convert feature to convert this AVI video file into a format that VideoStudio Pro X2 understands:

1.) Launch VLC Media Player and click Media menu >> Convert/Save;
2.) Click on the Add button and select the file you want to convert with VLC;

3.) The file to be converted should now be added to the File selection; click on Convert/Save button.
4.) In the Convert window, select the desired destination of the converted file.


5.) Manually type the file name and the file format extension of the video when it is converted (e.g. file.ts);
6.) Check “Display the output” to play the file while converting.
7.) In the Settings pane, select the profile that you want to be applied to the converted video.
8.) Click on the “Edit selected profile” icon for further customization;
9.) In the Encapsulation tab, select the file format extension to be used (e.g. MPEG-TS for *.ts);

10.) In the Video codec tab, check “keep original video track”.

11.) In the Audio codec tab, check “keep original video track”.



12.) Click on Save and then Start.

If the converted video file doesn’t have a sound, there must be something wrong during the conversion process; this happens when the format being converted has compatibility issues. To resolve this, you can convert again the source video, but this time, we are going to convert only its audio track.

1.) Repeat Step 1-5, but change the file extension to .wav;
2.) Check “Display the output” to play the file while converting.
3.) In the Settings pane, choose Audio – MP3;

4.) Click on the “Edit selected profile” icon for further customization;
5.) In the Encapsulation tab, you will notice that the selected format is “RAW”. Change that by selecting the WAV.

6.) In the Video codec tab, uncheck the “Video”;

7.) In the Audio codec tab, check the “Audio” and set the codec to “WAV”.

8.) You can change the Bit rate, Channels, and sample rate to your desired values; however just leave it as it is for now.
9.) Click on Save and then click Start.

At this point, you should now have two output files: the video file in .ts format and the audio file of your source video in .wav format. You can merge these two files using Corel VideoStudio Pro X2.

1.) Launch VideoStudio Pro X2 and insert the converted video file on to the beginning of main video track at 00:00:00.00 duration.
2.) Insert the WAV format on to the beginning of the voice track at 00:00:00.00 duration. Make sure that the inserted audio and video files are in the same starting position to avoid out of synchronization.

3.) Proceed to the Share tab >> Create Video File and select the video template that you want this project to be converted into.
