Top 3 Online Media Converters

There are many times when one downloads a nice little clip at office, or cuts out a home video of say his dog trying to turn the Xbox on. So now it’s time to post it on the net and then ping, tweet, blish or wall post away to all our equally bored friends on the social networks. To do that we need to convert the video, afterall universal file format acceptance is not a reality, and of course file size is something that needs to be tackled.

There are software to convert anything to anything, and we have already done a exhaustive list of best software media converters, but what if you are not allowed to install stuff at work? Or are just plain lazy to download wares? This article shows you a list of online sites that convert videos for you, on the go. It’s a serious alternative to using software, not at all gimmicky. (We have filtered out the gimmicky ones)

To review the sites, we have used an Xvid file - a movie trailer of Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Also another format we used was .3gp, for in case you catch someone drunk at office. This one was a trailer of Kung Fu Panda. File details given in pics below. Of course one can use other files, and interconversion between many files formats is possible, as we will find out soon.__STARTQUOTE__Then they email you the file to an address of your choice, you have to enter that in. We received our email really within a minute; I was quite shocked at the speed.__ENDQUOTE__ One more point to make: these 3 sites are also superb choices for streaming video downloads, like converting YouTube videos to hard disk playable formats like AVI or MPEG4. And yes, male readers (mainly), you know what other streaming videos can be ripped.
