Following the much anticipated release of the new Apple iPhone, we’re pleased to announce that you can now use Zamzar to convert videos from almost any video format to view on the iPhone !

You can even download videos from YouTube to view on your iPhone as well ! Just head over to the Zamzar URL page and download your favourite videos today.

You can use Zamzar to convert videos from the following formats to view on your iPhone:
  • avi
  • flv
  • gvi
  • m4v
  • mov
  • mp4
    
  • mpg
  • rm

A quick technical note: The iPhone plays .mp4 videos encoded using the MPEG-4 H.264 standard. This method for encoding videos, first introduced in 2003, ensures that file sizes are kept down whilst also giving excellent quality.

Happy Converting !

Convert PDF to doc, odt, rtf and txt

We’re rolling out new formats all the time here at Zamzar, but we’d thought we’d take the chance to remind you of one of the most popular conversions you can perform – You can use Zamzar to convert pdf files to doc, html, odt, pcx, png, ps, rtf or txt … all online, and all for free !

The PDF, or Portable Document Format, was introduced by Adobe in the early 1990s as a means of displaying documents in a consistent manner across any computing platform, and guaranteeing that complex graphics and diagrams remained accurately represented wherever the document is viewed.

One limitation of the PDF format however is the time-consuming process to open up and edit PDF documents. Zamzar helps by letting you convert your PDF file into an editable format (e.g. Microsoft Word), and then convert it back to PDF again once you’ve made your updates ! Why not hop over to the site today and test out our PDF conversion process on your docs ?

Thanks,
The Zamzar Team.
