Free audio and video conversions - no downloads!

While at a professional development training I was introduced to a great site to convert my audio and video files to usable formats for my iPods and digital photo frame. I don't pretend to be an expert on converting files, many times I am searching the web for directions on how to get my files to do what I want them to do! 

Below is the easy step-by-step instructions on how to use this cool website:

1) Go to http://zamzar.com/
     - you will see several boxes in this screen.
       a) in the first box, hit browse and find the file you wish to convert
       b) in the second box, click on the down arrow and choose the format you wish to convert
           your file to.
       c) in the third box, enter your email address.
       d) Click on convert (your file appears below the green box, and it shows your file uploading)
2) Go to your email
       a) within 5 - 10 minutes, you will get an email from Zamzar
       b) click on the URL in this email
       c) now, click on the green Download Now button
       d) at the bottom of this screen, click on the down arrow by the Save and click Save As.
       e) name your file and save it to your desired location.

Your file, in your email, will only be available for 24 hours, and then it will automatically be deleted.

 I personally enjoy this site because I don't have to search for and download a questionable file converter to my computer. I hope post helps!
