4. On the convert screen make sure it's set to Convert and "Display the output" and "Deinterlace" are unchecked. Beside Profile click the little down arrow or on the blank box to the right and choose the first option "Video - h.264 + mp3 (MP4)" then click the wrench.

7. Click Start. It will add an item to the VLC playlist and begin downloading the race at the absolute full speed of your internet connection. If you have gigabit internet it should take less than 8 minutes to download the race. It doesn't give you any status update at all so if you want to make sure it's working you can abort it after a minute or so by clicking the "Playback" pull down menu at the top and clicking "Stop". You should be able to play the partially downloaded race. You can also check the status as it's downloading by checking the filesize of the saved video, it should keep going up and up until it's finished. The 1080p last full day download will be approx 16gb and will combine pre-race warmup, race and post-race PC into one video.
Once you get the entire day video downloaded you can trim it into individual videos with Avidemux:
