vConvert Converts Youtube Videos to WMV, MP3, and 3GP for Mobile Videos

File Conversion          Trackback

Its nice to see vConvert. a new file conversion site similar to media-convert, letting users convert "youtube videos" to wmv, mov, mp4, mp3, and 3gp for your mobile wallpapers. Unfortunately, just as the quote says, it  can only convert youtube videos. In our tests it successfully converted all the youtube links we placed in. However, once you input another site, for example, Guba.com, the site yells, "Connection Failed!" We also tested vConvert using a direct link to a .flv movie file, and it also could not convert it either. It would be great if vConvert was compatable with all video hosting sites, even the obscure ones. If it can do this before the end of the year, they will take a major share of media-convert users, becoming the next internet hit! We recommend that vConvert staff work on supporting other video sites.

We did have some problems playing the videos in Windows Media Player, but found that they could work in VLC Media Player. When converting a video into a .MOV file, the sound was more focused on the right speaker for some reason. Converting a video into MP3 was a close match, so get ready to leech away all your favorite music videos on Youtube!

Convert Files Online with ZAMZAR

File Conversion          Trackback

zamzar-logo.jpg ZAMZAR is an online file conversion too allowing you to convert from a selection of files into whatever format is available. Unfortunately it has to send an email when its available. Unlike the other service MediaConnect, you won’t see the results on the same page. I tested out using a High Quality transparent PNG and convert it into JPG. The results weren’t up to my standards and a little bit blurry but it came out fine. It chose black as the background color instead of white though.  Since its in Beta it will take a while for it to be up to my level.
