Hi All
Got another Tutorial for you on How to create your Own Video Converter.
You can convert loads of Different Formats with this 8-)


On Your Form you will need

1 OpenFileDialog
1 Textbox
1 ComboBox
2 Buttons

In the ComboBox Collections Tab in the Properties is where you add your video Formats that you want to Convert too, and they should start with a "." like .avi, .mp3, .mov and so on.

*Note You will have to change your OpenFileDialog Name to "SelectVid" ( The name should be changed in the Properties and the OpenFileDialog on the Bottom of your Visual Studio Workspace should be renamed once you have done it ) If it does'nt change then you have renamed the wrong one in the Properties......

If everything goes according to plan then once you run it you click your Open Button click on the Video that you want to Convert and the Filename will appear in the Textbox then select your Video Format from the Combobox that you want to Convert it to and then press the Convert Button. It should say that you are going to Convert that file and click ok the Convert it.

Right then lets get Coding ;)

Button 1 (The open file button)

Code: Select all

Selectvid.showdialog()

Button2 (The convert button)

Code: Select all

Dim type As String = ComboBox1.Text
        If ComboBox1.Text = "" Then
            MsgBox("No file type selected")
        Else
        End If
        MsgBox(TextBox1.Text + " shall be converted into a " + type + " file.")
        Dim oldFile As String = Mid(TextBox1.Text, 1, Len(TextBox1.Text) - 4)
        FileCopy(TextBox1.Text, oldFile + type)

SelectVid(The openfiledialog)

Code: Select all

Dim file As String = SelectVid.FileName
        TextBox1.Text = file

Hello,

Just an application that lets you open and play video files. You will probably have to use the mediaplayer control though.

Then add one of your brilliant themes to it cooll;

You have the MP3 player, radio player and if you can add a video player you will have them all wahooo;

fantastic program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

This doesn't convert the file types. You would need an encoder for the specific file type you want to convert into.
I suppose this could be helpful for text documents though.

Wow I really like this, your design is so incredible

You know this is fake! just changes file exention

some things will work exactly the same when u convert them
like : mp3 to.wav
mp3 is made to fit on smaller drives but is still the same because .wav would be to large for a mp3 player so mp3 just cuts a piece of code ( what will decrease the quality a tiny little bit)

sorry for bumping i needed to say
