Now you have some interesting video downloaded from youtube or maybe you just bought a Motivational VCD, and thinking to have it as MP3 files so you will able to enjoy it on your MP3 Player.

Why bother to download a fancy converter while you convert it using a a free media player such as VLC Player?

But how?

  • Download VLC http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
  • Install it by double clicking the installer file and follow the instruction
  • Fire up VLC, Media > Convert/Save >
  • File > Add . Then choose the desired file. Click OK.
  • Click Convert/Save button at the buttom of the dialog box.
  • Choose the output file destination , and change the Settings’s Profile to Audio – MP3
  • Click Start
  • The conversion process will take from few seconds few minutes depend on your machine performance and the size of original file.

If you want to do a batch conversion,

  • Open Notepad
  • Copy and paste below command to your Notepad
    for %%a in (*.mp4) do “C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc” -I dummy -vvv “%%a” –sout=#transcode{vcodec=none,acodec=mp3,ab=128}: standard{access=file,mux=dummy,dst=”%%a.mp3″} vlc://quit
  • Save as batch.bat (of course you can rename batch to anything else you like)
  • move your batch.bat file to the location where you have stored your video file
  • double clicking the batch.bat file while start converting all video file with .mp4 extention to MP3 file
