How do you use vlc media player to save a DVD as an mp4 file?

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know if VLC media player can do this. What I used to convert DVD to MP4 is a tool called Moyea DVD4Web Converter - http://www.flash-video-mx.com/dvd4web-converter/
It is a shareware though it works really well on converting DVD to MP4 and has a lot of features for customizing the resulting video.

Problems with purple and green playback with windows media center and vlc player?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Whilst people arent quite sure what the causative factor is quite yet the folks at VLC reckon this will solve the issue of "smurfing" (green or purple pixelation), however it has not worked all the time.

First go to Preferences -> Video -> Output modules, and set Video output module to something different, like DirectX video output. Be sure you have advanced options enabled to be able to access this option. Also, you might need to disable the "YUV -> RGB" checkbox in DirectX section of Preferences -> Video -> Output modules.

If this doesn't work please give a more detailed description of what exactly is happening.

Cheers
