Making a home movie or video of any sort can be a fun project, but when you want to share it online, things can get tricky. The type of file extension your video editing software has saved your video as may not work if you want to upload the video to certain video sharing websites, and if you want to burn to a CD to pass your video on to someone else, their computer may not recognize the file type either. Fortunately, there are a few websites that allow you to convert large video files quickly.
