Let's see what else you can do with VLC besides playing video files.

1. Watch YouTube videos using VLC

If you don't want to watch annoying ads on YouTube, or just want to experience watching YouTube videos without interruptions, you can use VLC.

Yes, it is very easy to stream YouTube video over VLC.

Just start the VLC player, go to Media Settings, and then click "Open Network Stream" or use the shortcut CTRL + N.

Next, you just need to paste the URL of the video you want to watch. There are some options to adjust, but usually you don't have to worry about them. If you are curious, you can click "Advanced options" to explore.

You can also add subtitles to YouTube videos in this way. However, an easier way to watch Youtube videos with subtitles is to use a Penguin subtitle player.

2. Convert the video to different formats

You can use ffmpeg to convert videos from the Linux command line. You can also use graphics tools such as HandBrake to convert video formats.

However, if you don't want to use a separate app to transcode the video, you can use the VLC player to do the job.

To do this, simply click the media option on VLC, and then click "Convert/Save", or press the shortcut key CTRL + R while the VLC player is active. Next, you need to import the video you want to save / convert from your computer / hard drive or URL.

No matter what source it is, just select the file and click the "Convert/Save" button. You will now see another window where you can change the "Profile" setting. Click and select the format you want to convert (and save).

You can also change the storage path of the converted files by setting the target folder at the bottom of the screen before the conversion.

3. Record audio / video from source

Vlc Advanced Controls

Do you want to record the audio / video playing in the VLC player?

If so, there is a simple solution. Just go through "View" and click "Advanced Controls".

When you are done, you will see a new button (including the red recording button in the VLC player).

4. Download subtitles automatically

Yes, you can use VLC to download subtitles automatically. You don't even have to look for subtitles on a separate website. Just click "View"-> "VLSub".

By default, it is disabled, so when you click this option, it is activated and allows you to search / download the subtitles you want.

VLC also allows you to synchronize subtitles using simple keyboard shortcuts

5. Screenshot

You can use VLC to get some screenshots / images of the video while watching the video. Just right-click the player when the video is played / paused, and you will see a set of options, click "Video"-> "Take Snapshot".

If an older version is installed, you may see the screenshot option when you right-click.

Extra tip: add audio / video effects to video

In the menu, enter the "Tools" option. Click Effects and Filters, or press CTRL + E in the VLC player window to open the option.

All right, you can watch the audio and video effects you add to the video. You may not be able to see the effect in real time, so you need to adjust and save to see what's going on.

I recommend saving a backup of the original video before modifying the video.
