VLC is the most popular third-party media player used by Windows users on their desktop or laptops. It has many advance features which makes it a media player Swiss Army Knife. One of these features is the ability to convert FLV to MP4 video format. If you have VideoLAN or VLC media player installed in your PC then you don’t need to go anywhere to convert your FLV videos to MP4 video format, you can do it using the VLC media player yourself by following these steps:
- Open VLC Media Player
- Click Media button available at the top-bar of VLC. It will show a menu. From this menu, click Convert/Save option, it will open the Convert window. You can also press CTRL+R to open Convert window directly after opening VLC.
- In Convert Windows, click Add button which will open the browse window. Browse through this window to locate and open your desired FLV video from your PC. (You can add multiple videos to convert).
