As said in the title, my match replays are saving and can be viewed in the game but will not open in vlc where other files will. Is there any other way i could open them or possibly save the replays as a different format like mp4?

Hello @Hu____nyOnTwit and thanks for reaching out to us.

We understand you would like to open Match Replays in a third party player, however as of now you can only watch it in the game’s Watch tab.

The Rainbow Six: Siege Match Replay feature automatically records your player versus player (PVP) matches. You can rewatch your latest games and get an edge on your opponents!
 
Up to 12 matches will be saved and available to view at a time. After you have filled up your 12 save slots, the system will automatically overwrite existing matches, starting with the oldest ones first. 
 
Your matches are saved to the MatchReplay folder of the game's installation location. 
 
The Match Replay feature is enabled by default.

To watch any of your recorded matches, select Watch on the Home screen, and pick the match you want to watch. 
 
From the Match Replay viewer, you can:
 
Change playback speed
Follow any player in first-person view
Pause/play
Rewind/fast-forward
Skip between rounds
View different map floors
Zoom in/out
 
You can see the controls for the Match Replay viewer in the Spectator Cameras & Match Replay section of the Customise Controls menu. 

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
