Step 2. Choose a file for conversion
Launch the video converter to have MP3 files created from your videos. Click the Add Media button in the upper-left corner and then Add Video. Choose one or more files that you want to convert from video to MP3.
Step 3. Choose the MP3 format and settings
Click the Audio tab and open the MP3 group. You will see a number of presets with different bitrate parameters. You can either choose the MP3 - Original bitrate preset, which copies all the parameters from the original, or a different bitrate, which will impact the output audio quality. Bear in mind that, the higher the bitrate and quality, the larger the resulting file will be. You can also save extracted soundtracks and songs to other popular audio formats, such as OGG, WAV, FLAC, and more.
Step 4. Convert the video to MP3 and save it
Choose the folder where you want to save the converted files by clicking the Save to button. Then, hit Convert to convert the video file to MP3. The process can take from one to several minutes, depending on the file size and the number of files being converted. Remember that you can change your large videos to MP3 just as easily.
When the conversion of your videos to MP3 is complete, the extracted audio will be saved, and the folder with the saved MP3 files will open automatically.
That’s all there is to it! Now you can turn videos into MP3 files or change any other media format in just a couple of clicks!
