How to Convert MP4 or Any Video File To MP3 Using VLC Media Player

If you have VLC software installed in your computer you don't need additional software to convert mp4 or any video file to mp3 audio.

VLC has many tools which perform different tasks and one among them is audio converting from any video. It is easy to convert video to audio using VLC. All you need is having VLC software installed in your computer.

The procedures follow few steps and they can be applied to all operating system. But this feature  of converting videos is not available on vlc app for android therefore the procedures which are going to be explained on this post are basing on PC. The PC can use Linux/Windows/Mac.

Starting converting video file to mp3 just Open VLC software and on the top bar of VLC there is menu which involves Media,   Playback, Audio, Video, Subtitle, Tools, Views and Help, you should select Media and you will see a drop down menu which involves other commands for performing various tasks.

These commands include open file, open multiple files, open disk, open network stream, stream, convert and save and many other commands, for converting you will have to select "convert/save". After clicking the new dialog will appear needing to add the video file to convert.

Choose video file that you want to convert by clicking add button or you can drag and drop the video file. Then click convert/save button the next dialog with different options to select will appear, the dialog involves source of file selected, settings and the destination place of your output file.

On the setting part leave other parts unchanged but on profile part there is drop down menu having many options. Click and select  Audio-MP3 since the video file is supposed to be converted to MP3 file.

The additional setting is required to accomplish the task of converting video file to mp3 because if you will decide to convert as it is, the file wont play accordingly. Next on drop down menu there is icon of setting click it and another dialog with options of Encapsulation and others will appear,

Here we will select encapsulation part. There are so many options required to select only one option on this part. Click WAV for encapsulation and save.

Now the final step is here. In this part the destination file name will be assigned, give a name the output file. The name should be in this format "name_of_the_file.mp3" and locate the destination folder.

Then click convert/save and video will be converted to mp3 audio. Make sure repeat options on VLC are off if they are turned on the file will be converted frequently.
