  VLC is anything but intuitive and I’m pretty sure you can’t encode media and save it on your computer, and for sure not on mobile devices

    That’s exactly what VLC’s main purpose is. Have you even looked at it? It’s one of the most intuitive front-ends to transcoding out there. Desktop, mobile, and web.

      I guess I never found out how to do that. I’ve been using VLC for many years and never found a way to encode a file to something else, change its bitrate, and save to disk. It doesn’t work on iOS for sure.

    Come on, dude. Now you’re just trolling.

    Quit while you’re ahead and just go do some reading.

      Just trolling

      You just sent a documentation page that comes straight from hell, having to use CLI on iPhone (how tf do I do that?), and on top of that it’s a page for STREAMING not TRANSCODING to a file

        I mean, you just keep asking different people whether a thing that does X exists. They’ve all said no, but you can use Y plus mods to do it. Doesn’t seem good enough for you.

        Now you’ve risen to “VLC cant do that”. I’ve shown you it can, and you not only beak back at me about it being CLI, but downvote me as well. Thanks for that.

        Regardless of any info you get here, you will still need to problem-solve. Good luck.
