Perhaps you want to play the audio on an MP3 player, or create a CD\/DVD of your favorite tunes. Maybe you&#8217;d like to listen to them on your mobile device? There are countless reasons for doing so and are limited only by your imagination.<\/p>\n<h2>Any Video Converter<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been using the free version of Any Video Converter for years now and have no complaints. It&#8217;s fast and easy to use. It has a great help system plus plenty of support on their web site including video tutorials. It also supports a huge number of file formats, as well. Here&#8217;s a short-list:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-002.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10353\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-002.jpg\" alt=\"avc-image-002\" width=\"242\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-002.jpg 242w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-002-46x150.jpg 46w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Any Video Converter Installation<\/h2>\n<p>Installation is very basic. There is only one suggestion I would make. Don&#8217;t install the AVG Security Toolbar.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t speak from personal experience but judging from all the questions I receive about how to remove it suggests that it isn&#8217;t too popular.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s a shot of the installation window to watch out for:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-001.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10354\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-001.jpg\" alt=\"avc-image-001\" width=\"503\" height=\"388\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-001.jpg 503w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-001-150x115.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-001-400x308.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to click the <strong>Custom Installation radio button<\/strong> and <strong>Un-check<\/strong> all the boxes beneath it.

Merely drag and drop files into the Main Window. You can even drag videos off the internet if you like and AVC will download them for you.<br \/>\nWhen you are finished adding files choose the output format. In the above image you can see that I have chosen the MP3 format.<br \/>\nThe Whitney Houston video I selected is roughly 18MB in size and took about 3 seconds to convert it to a 2MB MP3 file. Pretty quick!<br \/>\nYou won&#8217;t lose the original video file, either. Nothing gets erased in the process.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-006.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10358\" src=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-006.jpg\" alt=\"avc-image-006\" width=\"492\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-006.jpg 492w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-006-150x99.jpg 150w, https:\/\/davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/avc-image-006-400x264.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also view your videos right in the application.
