Select the option to open the folder after the video conversion is complete.

Now that your video is converted to a format that works, you can use Windows Movie Maker. Windows Movie Maker allows you perform a variety of tasks that allow you to customize your video. Once you are done using the program, you might choose to convert it back to a format you can use on your smartphone.
