Let’s say you have a .mov file and you want to embed it into a Power Point Presentation it needs to be in .wmv format, so what do you do?  Perhaps you have a file in iPod (m4a) format and want to play it on a regular mp3 player, then what?   There are many ways to convert files from one file type to another, but I discovered a new one at MACUL this year I really think fits to bill. It’s an online website, so you no longer have to download a program onto your computer.  The site is found at www.zamzar.com.  Basically, you browse to the file you want to convert, select the format you want it converted to, enter an e-mail for the link to be sent to (You may want to use a free e-mail account for this part to avoid spam), then download your final product.

This site is so easy to use, I won’t do any explination here, just check it out and you will be pleased with your results!
