Download DailyMotion videos and convert to multiple formats
We’ve fixed up Zamzar to allow you to download and convert videos from DailyMotion, the popular video sharing website.
You can convert videos into a variety of different formats, including avi, mov, mp4 (ideal for iPhone), wmv and more.

Converting YouTube videos – now with video titles !
We’ve just updated Zamzar’s YouTube video conversion service, so that converted videos are now named with the title of the video from YouTube.
Previously videos had just been using the YouTube video ID, which often resulted in some rather odd names for your converted videos !
We hope you enjoy the change
TeacherTube / Tangle video conversions fixed
Hi,
You can now once more use Zamzar to convert videos from TeacherTube and Tangle (the new name for GodTube).
This functionality had worked in the past, but some buglets in the system meant it was broken for the past few months. We’ve now fixed those to allow you to convert again (thanks for your patience).
Happy converting !

Problems with YouTube conversions
Hi,
We’re having some teething problems with YouTube conversions at the moment, our engineers are investigating. We’ll update here when we know more – sorry for any inconvenience caused.
UPDATE: [30/05/09 22:00 GMT] – Normal service is resumed for YouTube conversions. The blip yesterday was caused by Google system maintenance. Thanks for your patience.

Visio may be good, but not everyone has it. We hope this new conversion will be useful if you want to share your creations with others who don’t have Visio installed – you can convert .vsd files into pdf documents or images rather than send round Visio files.

- bmp – Windows Bitmap
- gif – Compuserve graphics interchange
- html – Hypertext Markup Language
- jpg – JPEG compliant image

So, what are you waiting for ? Go Miscrosoft Visio converter crazy today – release those diagrams !
