I'm having trouble converting an unknown file type into MP3 so I can play it on VLC.
If I drag and drop it, it plays fine, but when I open it and attempt to choose VLC as its program, the "Always choose this program to open this kind of file" check box is grayed and I can't click it. I want to set VLC as the program for all of my music files that are like this.
I'm using Windows 7.
Answer
If you play the file by dragging and dropping, pause or stop it, then:
- go to play-list,
- right-click on the problem file, and
- click
Information...
The Codec tab will tell you what kind of file it is, and you can now exit and rename the file to add an appropriate extension.
Don't convert the file! This will take time and degrade the quality. If you don't know what the appropriate extension should be, rename it to FileName.vlc and associate this extension with VLC (any unused extension could be used, but this one is unlikely to be used by anything else).
