VLC Media Player supports most audio and video types. A VLC media file can be one of many formats, because VLC is a video player. Sometimes, people encounter problems when converting files for transfer from PC to a Mac. In general, two separate conversions are needed: first from VLC Media to an .aiff with QuickTime Player, then from .aiff to .mp3, using iTunes.
