How to Convert BB Flashback Videos to VLC
If you have recently recorded videos using BB Flashback and wish to play them in VLC Media Player, you are in the right place. This detailed guide will walk you through the steps of converting your BB Flashback recordings into a format compatible with VLC. This process is essential for those who prefer VLC's features or need to share videos in a different format.
Understanding BB Flashback Video Formats
BB Flashback is a powerful screen recording tool that can export videos in several formats. The application particularly excels in creating tutorials and gaming videos, owing to its user-friendly interface and strong editing capabilities. It's essential to determine the format of your recorded video before conversion:
- Flashback format (.fbx)
- AVI format (.avi)
- MP4 format (.mp4)
If you are working with videos in Flashback's native format (FBX), you will need to export them first. If your videos are already in AVI or MP4, they are ready for conversion.
Steps to Convert BB Flashback Videos to VLC
- Export Video from BB Flashback: Open BB Flashback, select the recording you want to convert, and go to the 'File' menu. Choose 'Export', then pick your desired output format (for instance, AVI or MP4).
- Open VLC Media Player: Launch VLC on your computer. If you don’t have it, download it from the official website and install it.
- Convert Your Video: In VLC, navigate to 'Media' -> 'Convert / Save'. Click on the 'Add' button and select the video file you exported from Flashback. Click on 'Convert / Save' again.
- Select Output Format: In the next window, choose the desired profile in either AVI or MP4. You can also customize other settings, like resolution or audio codec.
- Start the Conversion: Choose your destination file and click 'Start'. VLC will now convert the video to your chosen format.
Once the conversion is complete, you can open the new video file in VLC for playback!
Pro Tips for Smooth Conversion
- Make sure that you have the latest version of VLC installed to avoid compatibility issues.
- Check the quality settings during conversion to ensure optimal playback quality.
- Test the converted video to confirm that it plays without any errors.
Common Issues and Solutions
While converting videos might seem straightforward, users can face certain challenges:
- Quality Loss: To avoid loss of quality, choose a high bitrate and resolution during the conversion process.
- File Corruption: Ensure that the exported file from Flashback is not corrupted. Play it in a media player first before conversion.
- Playback Issues in VLC: If the video does not play correctly, check VLC's settings and reinstall if necessary.
