I had taken some video with my Blackberry and transferred it to my pc to view, crop & send off to friends. Upon trying to play it back I got video but no sound. Looking at the file file I saw it had a .3gp extension which I had never heard of before. I knew that I would need to convert it to an .avi, .mov or something else so that it could play correctly on my pc running Windows 7 64-bit.

You may already know of programs that convert media such as Nero or Super, there are just so many out there. I searched and found a website that allows for online conversion of media, this allows me to avoid buying or installing a program. The convenience of online conversions that allows matters more to me than be able to convert media offline.

Discovering Media Convert has made things easier for me and with less hassle than finding different programs to convert different forms of media. Media Convert is a 100% free ad based online service. I will point out a few features and then send you on your way.

Media Convert can convert audio files, video, presentation, document, spreadsheet and other types of media. There is a 200mb limit which should cover the videos I need to convert. You can also use Media Convert to send files to your or a friend’s cellphone. Also handy is the conversion of written media, there are other uses for the website but I will let you explore on your own. This is another great free tool to put into your arsenal.
