Convert any Video to ASCII using VLC Media Player

An example of a video in ASCII form

All you need to do is open any video and VLC will automatically display its converted form. To convert any video in ASCII, just follow the steps given below:-

1) Open VLC Media Player.
2) Click on the Tools menu and in the drop down list, click on Preferences at the bottom of the list (or press Ctrl+P).
3) Click on Video icon in the left sidebar.
4) On the right side there is one option which is OUTPUT, click on it and select  “Color ASCII art video output” tap from the drop down list.
5) Now save and restart VLC.
6) Now press Ctrl+O and play the desired video.
If you want to change the ASCII video into older form then you just need to follow the same steps but in OUTPUT option instead of “Color ASCII art video output“ you need to select “Default” option.
