You can also select a single file as a source file by clicking on ‘File’ option under the Source button.
2. After selecting the source file, the next thing to do is to select the destination where you want to have your converted video. Now here you need to decide what format of the file you want to have it after video conversion is completed. There is a ‘Presets Toggle’ bar which is there on the left-hand side of the window. You can select any of those present in the list.
3. Before you proceed to the ‘Start’ button to start video conversion you can still make many changes in the setting of the resulting video. You can find all the setting buttons on the lower side of the main window screen.
