Convert EVTX to EVT

Can you convert EVTX to EVT?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert EVTX to EVT?
No - not a direct conversion.

EVT is the obsolete pre-Vista log format. Converting modern EVTX back to it serves no purpose; legacy tools that needed .evt are themselves obsolete. Export to CSV/XML instead.
