[|Top 10 Sites for File Conversion] - From //Tech & Learning//, August 2010

- Insert a URL, select the filetype to which you wish to convert it, then click Download (4/8/14) user:chericem1

[|Online Converter] - Allows you to select the type of media, the target format, and then upload your file. Handles formats that most other converters don't support. Free. user:chericem1

[|MediaCoder] - PC-based open source software for transcoding video from one format to another. user:schopie1

[|MediaConvert] - Convert nearly any file of up to 150MB into a different format (audio, flash, text, video, etc.). Extremely fast and totally free! Lets you download the file directly once converted without waiting to have it e-mailed. Doesn't maintain active hyperlinks when you convert Word docs to PDFs user:chericem1

[|Media Converter] - Free download from Sourceforge user:chericem1

[|You Convert It] - A free, clean, step-by-step interface that allows the user to input an e-mail address, select the type of media (audio, documents, images, video), select the type of file format from a drop down menu, then click convert. It will e-mail the document to you. Also allows you to convert "units" (acceleration, force, mass, metrics, etc.) Unlike most free PDF makers and converters, this one WILL maintain your hyperlinks as active when you convert a Word document with hyperlinks into a PDF user:chericem1

[|Zamzar] - Yet another option. Not as technically overwhelming as MediaConvert and allows you to skip the step of converting the file from .flv, but also not as many formats, only handles up to 100 MB, and requires that you wait for the file to be e-mailed to you. Doesn't maintain hyperlinks when you convert Word docs to PDFs user:chericem1
