Need to upload version 0.8.6

I need the version that has the "File" tab on it so that I can use the "Wizard" in order to change my fiole extensions. Not sure why the newer version does not have this feature. When I go on the VLC site there is a listing of past versions but not a link in order to download them. If I could get a direct link for the versions for Windows that would help me out a great deal.

Question: Is there a way to get to the "Wizard" application on the newer versions in order to change file extensions? On the older version you hit "File" and then wizard... on the newer versions there is no "File" tab. I have to change these Panasonic camcorder .mod extensions into .mpg format.

Thanks,

Steve

XP users:
File extension in 0.9.9 can be changed in Tools/preferences - Interface option and on the right you have association setup option.
If VLC doesn't have association file .mod (and I think it doesn't for Video, only in Audio), right click .mod file go to open or open with/choose program select VLC, and check "always use selected program to open this kind of file", then click OK.

If you do not have VLC on the list (open/choose program), go to browse/program files/VideoLan/VLC/ double click VLC.exe, and as above, check "always use selected program to open this kind of file", and click OK.

ok i will try that... but is there a direct link if I would rather upload the 0.8.6 version? thanks
