Can VLC Player save an `.mpg` file

file formatvlc-media-player

I have a short family video on DVD. I've successfully used VLC player to save it as a file, but it has a file extension of .ps.

I want to put it in a Picasa album, but Picasa only recognizes videos with the following file extensions: .avi, .mpg, .asf, .wmv.

Here's what I've done so far:

  • Open the video
  • Choose Media > Convert/Save
  • Add the same file and click Convert/Save button
  • Click the wrench icon for more options
  • Select an encapsulation of MPEG-TS, a video codec of MPEG-4, and unchecked the audio under that codec's section (there is none in this video).
  • Click "Browse" and supply a location and filename (with no extension)
  • Click "Start"

Regardless of the encoding options, the file extension is still .ps.

How can I save as .mpg?

  • Go to the Media menu and choose Convert/Save. Click on the Disc tab.
  • Here you can adjust the Starting Position and rip only specific titles or chapters.
  • Enter file name making sure to end with .mpg, and start ripping.
