How to convert vlc to wmv file

  • Video

Converting VLC Playlists directly to Windows Media Video (.vlc to .wmv conversion) is, per se, not possible, since VLC playlists do not contain any multimedia data. They are basically only references to multimedia files.

These files do not need to be converted to other formats. Should you, however, need to play the video using a different software, try renaming the extension from .vlc to .wmv.

We are not aware of any (online) conversion solutions capable of converting .vlc to .wmv.

Simply put, it is impossible to convert VLC to WMV directly.
Thus, there is no so-called vlc to wmv converter or a free online .vlc to .wmv conversion tool.

Understanding VLC and WMV file formats

VLC is not a file format but a popular media player known for its ability to play a wide range of audio and video formats. It supports formats like MP4, AVI, MKV, and more. On the other hand, WMV (Windows Media Video) is a video compression format developed by Microsoft. It is commonly used for streaming and storing video content on Windows platforms.

Why convert VLC to WMV?

Converting a video file to WMV can be beneficial for compatibility with Windows-based applications and devices. WMV files are optimized for Windows environments, making them ideal for users who primarily use Windows software.

Best software for VLC to WMV conversion

One of the best tools for converting video files to WMV format is VLC Media Player itself. VLC is not only a media player but also a powerful converter. Here’s how you can convert files using VLC:

  • Open VLC Media Player.
  • Go to Media → Convert/Save.
  • Click on Add and select the file you want to convert.
  • Click on Convert/Save at the bottom.
  • In the Profile dropdown, select WMV as the output format.
  • Choose a destination file and click Start to begin the conversion.

Alternative converters

Besides VLC, other software options include HandBrake and Any Video Converter. These tools offer user-friendly interfaces and support a wide range of formats, including WMV.
