Here we are going to describe how to record your screen while watching any movie, video on VLC Media Player. We all know that vlc is widely used all over the world as it is considered as the best media player. VLC provides lots of interesting features. This media player is so famous that even if a similar media player is launched, we don't prefer them and use vlc unconditionally.
Vlc has brought a new feature in itself and it is that You can record your desktop screen using this player. This is really a good feature as we have to use various software especially for recording of screen. Using this you can record screen easily and then save it in mp4 format which is again a very good thing as otherwise, we have to convert the type of video into mp4 format. You can view your recorded media directly from VLC.
The quality of recorded media here is fairly good. If quality is an issue for you, then this feature might not be good for you. You continue to use screen recording software. For those, who don't want to get a separate software for this, this might be very fruitful for them.
