This is not really a "conversion" — please see Solution 1.

It's here:
Convert.ToBase64String Method (Byte[]) (System)[^],
Convert.FromBase64String Method (String) (System)[^].

However, the whole idea looks quite questionable.

Solution 1

It doesn't matter if it's a video or audio or any other sort of file or byte-array. The input for base64 is a byte-array and it doesn't care for the semantic content.

There are several articles here on CodeProject presenting base64-encoding and -decoding, take a look: Search - CodeProject[^]
