As is the common practice with office users, so are home users. And the wife recalled in the last minute that she needed to convert some videos sent to her through WhatsApp for a digital framework of her mother's. In other words, she needed to convert a small number of video files from mp4 to avi.
Officially, it appears that windows 10 or 11 do not bring an official solution for such conversions and that one is supposed to download an app for this purpose from Windows store.
However, since windows 10, the Photos built-in app, has this ability to convert between video formats (btw, Photos is also a rather convenient small-scale video editor for the smaller types of editing tasks one might need, and is probably the most convenient solution I know to extract still images from a video).
How do we do that?
1) save you mp4 file
2) right-click on the mp4 and choose "open with"
3) choose Photos
4) in Photos, click save-as (you might want to stop the video from playing, as it is a nuisance)
5) and choose the "avi" format (or whatever other format you need and Photos supports).
That is all.
