10. Choosing an appropriate location to store your converted file, rename the file in the format you want your output to be, irrespective of what you chose in the profile option in step 8. For eg, VLC doesn't show Audio-wav format in the profile folder but choosing any audio format in the profile in step 8 like "audio-mp3", if I name the file as audio.wav in the "save file" window I get the wav format output.
