Finally you can convert your PowerPoint presentation into Flash file so to have the benefits of both formats. Microsoft's popular slideshow tool makes it quick and easy to to create attractive, animated presentations; whereas Flash offers all the benefits of a universal format which can be viewed on any computer and any browser as well as a potentially much smaller file size.

Firstly, you do need to register before you can convert any presentations, but the process will take just a minute. The program integrates perfectly with Microsoft PowerPoint. Put simply, when you have created the PPT presentation, press the 'Quick Publish' or the 'Publish' button, where you can select some options, and that's all you have to do. iSpring also includes a feature which allows you to insert Flash movies into PowerPoint presentations. It's a pity that there is not an option to set the compression rates for specific elements (certain images, sounds, etc.) - as that would make it possible to decide exactly where you want to compromise on quality.

It is also interesting that you can publish your Flash file online, allowing you to access all your presentations wherever you are. After pressing the 'Publish' button, select 'SlideBoom' as destination of your file and type the account details. You can sign up for a free account from the menu as well, and the process is fairly easy and quick.

iSpring lets you easily create your PPT presentations and convert them into a Flash file to share with your co-workers and friends. You can also publish and store them online thanks to a free hosting service.

Not a day goes by – at least for me – without having to convert media files to one format or another. If you too are in this situation, you need something like FormatFactory.

This full featured format converter enables you to convert all sorts of multimedia files (audio, video and images) between the most popular formats, including WMV, AVI, MPG, MP3, WMA, AAC, JPG, PNG, GIF and more. What's more, FormatFactory supports all the media formats used by portable devices like the PSP or the iPhone.

The program is really easy to use – that is, once you get used to its somewhat weirdly designed- interface. Don't look for any File button or menu, because there isn't any. The option to add files to the program's interface doesn't appear until you select the target format. You can select individual files or complete folders, and also tweak some basic conversion settings if you want.

Despite its slightly confusing interface, I found FormatFactory to be a really handy, efficient application, and also one of the few I know that converts everything: photos, music and video.

With FormatFactory you'll be able to convert pretty much any media file to other formats, including those used by most portable devices.

Converting video to DVD format is obviously essential if you want to watch any of your favourite films or clips stored on your hard drive on your DVD player.

The likelihood is, most of your videos are in various formats so you'll need someway of converting them all without requiring a different program for each different format. Sothink Movie DVD Maker is designed for those that want maximum flexibility in this regard allowing you to burn to DVD format files from a wide variety of sources including AVI, MPEG, internet clips and those recorded by DVC or webcam plus virtually any other format you can imagine. When adding clips to the GUI, you can play your source clips to check that it's the right video you were looking for. Conversions can be cancelled at any time so if it's taking too long, there's no problem but it would have been much better if the developers had allowed us to pause conversion for completion at a later stage. However, they have added an option to extract video files to a DVD folder so that you can burn your films to DVD at any other time.

With the ability to add subtitles as well, you can create some surprisingly professional results with Sothink DVD Maker and it supports just about any format out there.

It's great to have a portable multimedia device such as a PSP, an iPod or a Zune to watch movies on the go. The problem comes when you need to convert those videos from the PC to a suitable format so that you can watch those videos while commuting or traveling.

Koyote Free Video Converter can help you handle this issue in a very simple way. Far from complicated, bloated converting tools, this easy app lets you convert videos in a snap. You can choose between a wide range of formats, including those which are used in all popular portable devices. Available formats are presented as profiles with set preferences, but you can easily tweak them to suit your preferences.

Koyote Free Video Converter includes a small video window, but sadly it's only intended to watch video frames as the conversion process is working. It would have been nice to be able to use it also as video player to preview the contents of the movie before converting it.

With Koyote Free Video Converter you can easily convert videos to a variety of formats, including those suitable for portable devices.

Finally you can watch all your favourite films and videos ‘on the go’ with your Sony PSP, thanks to this free, open source video converter.

The program is still in 'beta' but it seems to work really well. The conversion process is fast, and you can tailor your final PSP-friendly mp4 file, selecting the video resolution, the video quality, the frame rate, the aspect ratio and the quality of the audio. You can also leave the settings as they are for a fast, good quality conversion. We tried with DivX and MPG files and it worked perfectly.

The improvements that could be made are mostly on the management side. It would be good to have a clearer view of the videos available on the PC and which of them have been already converted. The interface could also be a bit more pleasant without damaging its current clearness. It would be also a good idea to show the estimated time for the conversion process and a percentage indicating the status of the compression.

Be prepared to view your favourite videos on your Sony PSP with this useful, fast and free converter.

IPOD for Free Video Converter is a simple converter which allows you to watch all your favourite videos on your iPod.

Probably the major advantage of this converter over others is that it can download directly from YouTube and convert the files immediately into iPod format.

This one click downloading and conversion avoids the need for a third party program and makes watching videos on your iPod easier than ever before. Just be careful that you've configured the conversions to convert to the appropriate screen size and quality for your iPod.

Have you ever wanted to search for and download your favourite videos without using your browser? Free FLV Converter lets you automatically access sites such as YouTube, DailyMotion, Google and Metacafé without opening anything else.

You can search by keyword and preview each video found in the rather basic interface and also download them in FLV format. After that, you can convert the files to AVI, IPod, IPhone, 3GP or PSP format. It also works vice versa and if the files in question are already in FLV format, it can convert to DivX, Xvid, MPEG, DVD and AVI with automatic HTML embed links. This means you can paste them into your website or blog to share instantly with the world. If you don't require these functions, the program interface still provides a convenient search platform because you can browse and watch videos at the same time. With just one click, you can download the video you are previewing. For ease of use, it allows you to create a download list of videos you want to save. Once it's complete, you can just leave the program to download the videos whilst you get on with something else although unfortunately, it still doesn't support batch downloading.

A very useful application for those who are not content with only having videos on the Internet but also want them on their hard drive but don't want to visit each video content site seperately.

MediaCoder has set itself as a software referent for video conversions and now is offering the same functionality and capabilities for portable devices.

After releasing a PSP and iPod Touch versions, we've been presented with MediaCoder for Mobile Phone, a new MediaCoder edition that has been especially developed to convert video files to mobile formats such as MPEG-4, 3GP and AVI. While the format selection is not that wide in itself, it should be more than enough to fit most mobile phones nowadays.

The program features three possible interface configurations (Simple, Normal and Expert) from which we recommend the first one, as you don't really need to tweak all the program's settings and it's clearly the easiest to use.

Available formats and codecs can be selected via a drop-down menu: this means you can select them manually, but there are no profiles ready to be used. A standard mobile phone image lets you get an idea of how the video will look like on your device. Sadly there's only one to choose from.

MediaCoder for Mobile Phone converts your favorite videos to mobile compatible formats in an easy, fast and efficient way, so you can carry them anywhere with you.

MediaCoder is one of the best video encoders/decoders in the software market, and it's now offering special versions for popular devices such as the PSP.

MediaCoder PSP Edition enables you to convert your favorite movies and shows to the video formats used in Playstation Portable, so that you can take them anywhere with you. The interface, just like the iPhone version, feels a bit overwhelming at the beginning, but the program in itself is quite easy to use. There's also an embedded PSP player that allows you to preview the video exactly as it will be viewed on your device.

On the downside, I found the program to be a bit slow at some points, for example when launching it or when opening the configuration menu. Other than that, MediaCoder PSP Edition works fine, just like its older brothers.

In spite of some minor flaws, MediaCoder PSP Edition enables you to enjoy your favorite videos on the move.

While Apple is slowly rolling out their highly coveted iPhone across Europe, many developers have started to create software apps to be used specifically with today's most fashionable mobile phone.

MediaCoder iPhone iPod Touch Edition is one of those tools, a video converter that enables you to adapt your favorite movies, shows and video clips to the video formats used both in the iPhone and the iPod Touch. This app is in fact a simplified version of the original MediaCoder that has been adapted to these two new video platforms.

The program features a highly detailed interface that displays all the necessary information for each conversion, including an iPhone-like preview window. In fact, it's so complete that it may feel a bit overwhelming for first-time users.

The confusion still goes on – and even grows – when opening the program's exhaustive configuration menu. But once the initial shock is gone, MediaCoder iPhone iPod Touch turns out to be an excellent conversion tool that works really fast and obtains excellent results.

MediaCoder iPhone iPod Touch is pretty much everything you need to convert and transfer videos to your iPhone or iPod Touch. Just take your time to learn how to use it.

iLove is not meant to test your love skills but it is a powerful phone-compatible video converter for your favourite films and personal videos. That little 'i' at the beginning of the program's name will surely have reminded you of the hi-tech Apple phone. iPhone users in fact are probably the major target for this application. Actually, at the moment there is a great demand for applications to run on iPhone in order to use this piece of hi-tech gadgetry in many different ways.

Don't let the apparently-too-technical-interface put you off; it is actually very easy to select all the different options to tailor your final file. Just drop videos onto any place in the application to start the conversion process. The interface is basically an expanded menu that lets you decide whether to compromise on the quality, to have more films on the phone, or to set the best audio and video resolution to show off to your friends the fantastic definition of your brand new 'touch-screen'. Just for your information, the application will be useful also for Cowon and Archos devices.

The conversion process is fast and the option of having subtitles is interesting indeed. I bet you end up loving this iLove.

Many portable devices feature video capabilities, but not everyone takes advantage of them as you usually need to convert video files to another format and there's no easy way to do it.

XviD4PSP solves this problem by providing you with an intuitive, easy-to use tool that lets you convert almost any kind of video file to a wide range of formats, including those that most portable video devices (iPod, iPhone, PSP) work with. The program features a highly detailed settings window where you'll be able to configure every single detail about the video conversion. In fact, it's such a complete configuration menu that it'll take you some time to tweak it properly.

XviD4PSP includes an embedded video player where you can preview the video file before applying any change to it. Note that the program requires some extra tools to work but they come bundled with the installation file. And in case you get any warning messages about missing components, you'll probably do fine by just installing a coded pack.

The program features a nicely designed interface, but if there's something I especially enjoyed about XviD4PSP is the huge array of supported video formats. It works with pretty much anything you can play as a video!

In all, XviD4PSP is a powerful tool that comes in very handy for those of you who like to watch movies on the move and therefore need to convert video files very often.

With the expansion in capacity and range of mobile devices, users are increasingly demanding to be able to watch their favourite visual content on the move.

Acala 3GP Movies Free is a professional program for converting Avi, DivX, Xvid, Mpeg, Vob and several other formats to work on mobile devices. The interface is very professional yet easy to use and conversions are usually excellent quality and lightning fast.

The developer claims times of just 10 minutes to convert a two hour movie to 3GP and while this may be a little overstretching it, it certainly works quicker than any other 3GP converter I can remember. The good thing is that the program works in a similar way to a video editor - you can mark the in and out points of your film so you can cut out annoying titles at the beginning and end if you don't want them.

If you've got a lot of files to convert, it also supports batch conversions. You can easily split and preview films as they are converting to see whether the quality is to your liking.

All-in-all, this is an excellent 3GP conversion tool, especially if you need to cut and splice files and are in a hurry.

This application server a very clear purpose: convert Youtube videos to formats compatible with mobile devices like an iPod or a mobile phone. It's really easy to use and requires no technical knowlede: just copy and paste the video URL into its interface and click on the "Download and Convert" button.

You have several presets from which to choose the target device and the desired quality level for the converted file, but no possibility to tweak these options manually. The program works well and is completely free, although in exchange for that you're obliged to see a pop-up every time you open it or complete a conversion.

Free Video to Flash Converter has this very specific purpose: converting video files to Flash SWF or FLV video formats. It supports the most popular formats (AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, etc) and works really fast.

The program's interface is pretty straightforward. Simply select the source video, the target format and location and you're done. What's more, if you select SWF the program will also generate all the necessary HTML code and documents. Another feature we liked was the embedded trimming tool: if you don't want to convert the whole video you can use it to select the fragment you're interested in.

On the downside, the program displays some simple ads for other tools created by the same developer every time you open or close it. But I think it's a good deal if that allows you to use the program for free.
