How to record Desktop Screen using VLC media player


Hi Guys!
Today TricksByte comes with a cool trick.

We know that nowadays most of the PCs/Lappies are all having VLC player - which is the best player ever!

Now, It can be great if we can record our Monitor's Screen and can send that video-clip to our friend.

So, there are many third-party softwares available for recording Desktop, But Why we need them - when we can do it by VLC !?

Now, let's start...

All you have to need is a VLC media player in working condition. :p

Now, follow the listed below STEPS:

  • Open VLC player.
  • Turn on the Advance Controls from View menu. You will see an advanced panel just above Play Button.
    Advanced Controls
  • Again on the Menubar, nevigate to Media>>Open Capture Device.
    • Select "Capture mode" : "Desktop"
    • And set "Desired frame rate for the capture" to "6.00 f/s" [you can also set it above 6, but minimum value is 6]
    • Now, Press Play Button.
  • You will see a self screen in VLC again-and-again going in deeply. [Don't get worried. You are going right :-) ]
  • Now, Just press the RED button (which is just above the play Button) to start Recording.
  • Minimize your VLC, Do whatever you want on Screen - This all will be recorded.
  • Now Again Press RED Button to stop the Recording.
  • Now The Recorded file will be saved in "Videos" folder of Your User's folder.(Generally the path would be : "C:\Users\Your_PC_name\Videos")
  • Just Play it!
