How do I convert video files?

Converting your video files into different formats is a great way to share them with people who use different devices. For example, if you have a YouTube video that's only available in 720p, but your friend's computer only supports 480p, it would make more sense for you to convert the file into 480p so your friend can play it.

You can do this easily with just a few clicks in Windows 10, and we'll show you how!

Step 1: Open This PC on your computer and browse to the folder with the video file that you want to convert.

Step 2: Right-click on the video file and then click "Open with" from the drop-down menu. Click "Choose another app".

Step 3: Scroll down until you find "Windows Movie Maker" and select it as your default app for opening videos. You can also choose another app if you prefer.

Step 4: Click "OK" when prompted by Windows Movie Maker and then select "Create video" from its menu bar at the top of your screen. It will now automatically convert any videos that are saved in this folder into MP4 format without changing their resolution or quality settings!

Converting a video file from one format to another is usually a simple process. However, there are many different types of video formats, and these formats don't always work with the same devices. If you want to make sure that your videos can be played on any device, it's best to convert them into an open standard format like MP4 or MKV.

The most popular types of video formats include:

MP4 — This is a very common standard format for streaming services and mobile devices. It's limited in its support for advanced audio and video codecs, but it works well with most modern devices.

AVI — This format was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s as a result of Microsoft's dominance in desktop computing. It's still used by some older devices, but it doesn't support modern codecs.

WMV — This is Microsoft's proprietary video format, which means it won't work with any other software besides Microsoft products (and even then only if they've been updated). WMV has largely been replaced by MP4 as a result.
