Often I get emails in regards to file format issues.  A user downloads a FLV file and wants to import this into a Movie project and needs it in .mov or .mpg format.  Another frequent request is to convert a wps (Microsoft Works format)  or wpd (Word Perfect Document) and needs this to open in Mac Office 2004 or 2008.

For most conversions of this nature the online site www.zamzar.com works great.

With Zamzar you simply upload a file then choose which format you want it to convert it to.  Add you email address and click on Convert – wait a few minutes and you will be emailed with a link to the converted file.

Zamzar works well and comes with only a few restrictions.

Here is a feature list set,  for me the free version is more than adequate.  My only complaint with the service is annoying audio pop-up adds that come from time to time.
