Finding software to convert music and video is easy. Much harder to love them. Yes, because many once installed bring other unwanted applications to our computer. Or they start making it impossible to use them with ads. Be careful though, because if you use VLC you might fall back on love.

How to convert videos and music with VLC. To convert our files on VLC we have to go to "Media" then "convert/save" and click on "Add" to insert the file that interests us. At this point we can choose the desired format from the drop-down menu. To be successful, make sure that the chosen format is supported. At this point we are just one step away from conversion. Ci basta scegliere dove salvare il file e rinominarlo. Poi premendo “Start” si darà inizio alla conversione. In caso stessimo convertendo un file di grosse dimensioni visualizzeremo un timer che ci indicherà il tempo rimanente sino alla fine del processo.
