- 1). Open an online conversion site or download video conversion software. Media-Convert is a simple online converter that can convert video file types. If you prefer to download a software, Any Video Converter is a video conversion software that reads and converts numerous video formats (see Resources below).
- 2). Upload the WMV file that corresponds to the Dream file that you want to convert. When you download a Dream wallpaper to your computer, a WMV video file of the wallpaper is also downloaded. These files save to the "Extracted Data" folder, which is located inside the main "Stardock Deskscapes" folder on your system. You will be able to recognize the WMV files by their extension. To upload to Media-Convert, click on the button that says "Browse" next to "File." In Any Video Converter, click the "Add Video" button to upload a video file.
- 3). Choose MPEG as the output format. To set the output format in Media-Convert, use the drop-down menu next to "Output format" and select MPEG. To set the output format in Any Video Converter, choose "MPEG-I Movie" from the "Profile" menu.
- 4). Name the MPEG file. In Media-Convert, a name can be typed into the "Rename file to" box. To name the file in Any Video Converter, go to the "File" menu and click "Set Output Folder." You can type a name for the MPEG file and also select the output folder of your choice.
- 5). Start the converter. This is done in Media-Convert by clicking the "OK" button. In Any Video Converter, click the button that says "Convert." Both of these programs monitor the conversion progress onscreen and will inform you when the conversion is complete. Once the conversion has finished in Any Video Converter, the file will automatically be available in the output folder you selected. With Media-Convert, you will be given a link to download the converted file.
