Do you have a video file you can’t play on your windows computer? Here’s a great and free web tool (in beta right now), called Zamzar. Convert it to the popular .wma from .avi. .mov, .vob and more. Also available is the ability to convert YouTube and other popular video sites so they will play on your iPod or other mp3 player. Also supported is converting videos for use on your smart phones.
For working with documents, Zamzar will take a .pdf file and convert it to a .doc file for you. What a time saver if you need to do some editing on a document. Ever get a Microsoft Publisher document and don’t have the program? Just convert it into a format your computer has and you’re all set.
Zamzar has a very long list of document types they handle – from Office 2007 to WordPerfect and Works. Here’s a link to all the various file formats currently supported.
There is no software to download. You don’t even have to sign up for an account to convert a file. Go to the site, upload the file you want to convert, tell Zamzar what you want to convert it to, enter in your email address and you’ll get an email within a few minutes to go and download it.
There are size limits to the free account. You can upgrade to a paid account and not see any ads and size limits are increased, depending upon the level you choose (from $7/month to $49/month).
