Converting a wmv video to MP4 using VLC

Solved

Hello,
I successfully downloaded the latest version of VLC (2.05), but I have a problem with converting a wmv video to MP4 or Avi to play it on a Galaxy Tab. At the end of the conversion, I get an error message: "the streaming/transcoding failed. VLC could not open the encoder". The file seems to be converted to MP4 but I only have sound without the image?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Configuration: Windows XP / Firefox 3.5.7

    Finally, I managed to convert my wmv files to MP4 with VLC without any issues
    When VLC opens, click on media, click on convert/save
    Click on file at the top left of the window to select the wmv slide
    Click on add and then click on the small arrow of convert/save at the bottom and choose convert
    Type the video profile mpeg4+AAC(mP4) remembering to choose the destination folder for the converted file by adding the extension: MP4
    Good luck, the conversion happens automatically.

      Hello, I also have an issue with converting using VLC. I follow the exact procedure you described, but when I finally start the conversion, nothing happens.. is that normal?
