Today’s Really Cool Thing — the Zamzar – Free online file conversion web site. At this site, you can upload a file — or point to the URL of any file on the Internet — and have Zamzar convert it to one of MANY different file formats, and then e-mail you the result.
You can convert MS Word documents to PDF format, CSV files to Excel spreadsheets (and vice versa), MP3 files to Ogg/Vorbis format, or even convert and download YouTube videos in avi, mpeg, or mov (Apple QuickTime) format. Zamzar has literally hundreds of possible conversion combinations you can choose. For YouTube videos, you don’t even need to know the URL of the actual video file. Zamzar has a special tab just for converting and saving videos, and it accepts the URL of the YouTube page whose video you want to capture.
And the best part — all of these file conversion services are FREE. You can convert any file up to 100 MB in size. If you want to convert larger files, you will need to sign up for a paid account.
