I'm looking for a free file converter that I can download.
More specifically, I want to convert some music I have from .ogg format to .mp3 format. if the file converter can't do that I'd like it to be able to convert the files to .m4a or .wma because itunes can do the converting to .mp3 from there.

Top 10 Free Video Rippers, Encoders, and Converters



10. VLC media player (Open source/All platforms)

Ok, so VLC is a media player, not converter, but if you're watching digital video, it's a must-have--plus VLC can indeed rip DVD's, as well as play ripped discs in ISO format (no actual optical media required.) VLC can also play FLV files downloaded from YouTube et al, no conversion to AVI required.

You Convert It

Convert documents, images, audio and video files, or even units of

measure to virtually any format with web site You Convert It. Similar

to previously mentioned Zamzar, all you need to do is upload the file

and provide the site with your email address so it knows where to send

the download link for the new file once the conversion is complete.

Unlike Zamzar, You Convert It doesn't currently appear to have a

filesize limit (Zamzar caps filesizes at 100MB)—I uploaded a 300+MB

file in testing. It also works as a file sharing service like

YouSendIt and its contemporaries, meaning you can enter a friend's

email address and just upload the file without converting it. Last,

You Convert It has the kitchen-sink addition of unit conversions,

which isn't that useful since you can already use Google for currency

conversions and just about any other quick conversions.

You Convert It is the perfect web application for anyone who's got a

device—like an iPod—that requires specific filetypes. There are

desktop options for these kind of conversions (like iSquint or

Videora), but it really doesn't get any easier than these web-based

conversion tools.

Convert audio & video media

One of the great things about the Web is multimedia. You have your

choice of literally millions of videos. And music? How many songs are

on the Internet? They're uncountable.

There's a downside to this, too. There are a lot of formats for

multimedia files. And common media programs, like Windows Media Player

or the Real Player, can't handle most of them.

You've probably faced this problem. I certainly have. I've spent more

than a little time online, looking for software to play or convert

some obscure file format. (And after playing the file, I wonder, "Why

did I bother?" But that's a story for another day.)

That's a long way of getting to this week's fun tool-MediaCoder. This

is a multimedia Swiss Army Knife. It can convert all sorts of formats

into lots of other formats. For instance, it can convert QuickTime

files taken with a digital camera. That's a big boon for Windows users.

MediaCoder is under constant development. It's not the easiest program

I've tried. So, it might be better for more advanced users. But if you

have a file you just can't crack, MediaCoder should do the trick.

Cost: Free
