Media Convert is a very unique service available free of charge. Basically, you upload files up to 50MB in size, and they convert/transcode them into different formats. The conversion options are extensive, and there are a few editing options. ID3 tags are also preserved for audio conversions.

The beautiful thing…no special software or plugins to install. It’s a simple HTTP upload with no hoops to jump through. The service seems to be aimed at video-enabled PDA’s and cellphones, I’m sure vloggers are salivating at the possibilities. Here’s a very small sampling of the formats supported, check the website for the entire list:

3GP (in/out) AMV (out) ASF (in) AVI (in/out) DV (in) FLI (in) FLV (in) MKV (in) MOV (in/out) MP4 (in/out) MPG (in/out) OGM (in) SWF (out) VOB (in) WMV (in)
