A lot of people think that they have to purchase a Macromedia application to convert the MP4 files into Windows formats. Although there are many applications that make this very easy, this is not really true. In fact, there are more than enough free applications that allow you to convert the files in a matter of minutes. For example, one of the most popular choices for an application to convert the MP4 to Windows formats is free software known as "Media Player Classic" (or Microsoft Media Player for short).
This application is a free download from the manufacturer's website and can be installed by just installing the relevant CD or DVD to your computer's hard drive. This software provides its users with access to thousands of applications for all kinds of audio and video media, including WMA and AAC. It can also copy all of the media files to the desktop without additional storage. It also makes it easy to browse and find exactly what you are looking for. However, you might need to adjust some of the default settings to get everything working right.
Another option for free software is "Simple Video Converter". This is actually the old name of "VLC Video Converter" but as of late, it has been changed to "Simple Video Converter". This software is quite similar to Microsoft Media Player and the only major difference is that it is freeware. This means that anyone can download and use it for personal use without any fees. This application makes it possible to easily convert the files to the WAV format.
