  4. Great guide. I don’t know VLC can convert video. In my mind, it’s just a good video player. Thanks for sharing your experience. I used to do that with Acethinker Video Converter, It is a free online tool that lets you convert video right from the browser. Share it here as an alternative to VLC player.
