VLC provides clear indicators when a conversion is complete. Once you start the conversion, you'll notice a progress bar at the bottom of the VLC window. When this progress bar reaches the end and disappears, the conversion is done. Additionally, you can check your target folder for the converted file; if it’s there and playable, the process has finished successfully.
