This tutorial will walk you through converting certain kinds of Windows Media audio/video files to a more useful format such as a Quicktime or MPEG-4. It is aimed at a particular problem: making usable the .ASF WMV/MS files produced by a (terrible) Mustek "DV" camera. We assume that the reader knows the basics of VLC.

  • Launch VLC
  • From the File menu, select File > Open File (Apple + Shift + O ("oh"))
  • In the Open Source window which opens, click Browse, find the file you want to convert and click Open. Check the Advanced Output checkbox and click the Settings button.
