Hi, Liz,
You are welcome, and don't worry about having a little experience, you will gain it soon, a couple years ago I was only a beginner myself.
There is no way to do it manually, so a video converter is required. This is the one I use, very handy, smart and free for you to get:

Hope that helped and good luck!
