VLC for Windows 10: convert and compress video files

Everyone who watches videos on a PC has at least heard about VLC as it's not only the most popular player available, but also one that offers an impressive amount of features without asking for any money in return. Mostly known for the fact that it can play pretty much every media format out there without requiring additional codecs, VLC can perform quite a few very interesting tricks that not many people know about. For example, it can convert and compress videos.

Yes, I know that video converter isn't the first or even second thing that you think about when you install VLC, but why download additional third-party utilities when you already have an application perfectly capable of seeing this task through? Even though I will admit that VLC isn't as straightforward as a full-time video converter, it does offer a whole lot of customization options and it even embeds batch conversion capabilities.

To access this feature launch VLC, then click the Media button from the top left corner and select the Convert/Save option (or simply press Ctrl + R). In the new window that opens up, use the Addbutton to select the file(s) that you want converted, then choose Convert from the drop-down menu in the bottom-right corner. Now, simply select the desired format from the Profilesection, choose the location and the name of the output file and click Start. Support includes AVI, MP4, WMV, TS, ASF, MPEG and other video formats as well as MP3, FLAC, AAC, OGG and other audio formats.

If you're someone who needs more advanced options, you have those too: you can choose the encapsulation that you want, select the desired video and audio codec or overlay subtitles directly over the output file. Furthermore, you can customize the bitrate, quality or frame rate of the video, modify the resolution and even add filters to the output file by choosing them from a comprehensive list including sepia, sharpen, motion blur, etc. Of course, shrinking and lowering the quality of the output file effectively means that you can also compress videos from the same menu.

What is a Country? देश भनेकाे के हाे?

Yesterday, on January 13, Nepal's Coat of Arms was updated to add Kalapani and Limpiyadhura as in the new Political map. In this context, we today discuss on what actually 'a country is for it's citizen.' देश भनेकाे के हाे? What is a Country? जनताका लागि देश के हो ? जनताका लागि देश संविधान, कानुन, नागरिकता, सिमाना र झन्डा मात्र हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश राजधानी, त्यसबीच ठडिएको दरबार र त्यसको गजुर हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश भनेको सरकार हो ? होइन । जनताका लागि देश निर्वाचन क्षेत्र मात्र हो ? हुँदै होइन । त्यसो भए जनताका लागि के हो त देश ? जनताका लागिदेश चार सिमानाभित्रको माटो मात्र होइन । योसँगै जोडिने भावना, प्रेम, ऊर्जा र सपनाहरूको बगैंचा हो । जनताका लागि देश आशा हो । जनताका लागि देश खेतमा झरेको पसिनाको बियाड हो । आन्दोलनहरूमा सडकमा पोखिएको रगत हो । आफ्ना सपनाहरूको कविता हो । जस्तो, एउटा शिशुका लागि आमाको काख । जस्तो, भर्खर हिँड्दै गरेको एउटा बालकका लागि पिताजीको हात । एउटा यात्रीका लागि देश बाटो हो, जसमाथि ऊ आफ्ना पैतालाका डोबहरू छोड्छ र गन्तव्यतिर बढ्छ । देश भनेको ...
