converting computer file formats
« on: December 23, 2014, 12:52:46 AM »
I am almost sure I posted something on this years ago but I don't see it in any of the search engines.

Here is the website.  You upload a file, they e-mail it back to you in the format you want. Good stuff as far as I can tell, I've used it hundreds of times.

A word of caution, there FF: just be absolutely certain that you process the "returned" file through a very good AV software. Whether intentional or not, many of the file types listed allow for the embedding of quite destructive malware and viruses. Given you don't "know" these folks, and it's a free service, the actual personnel on the other end are quite capable of doing malicious things, unbeknownst to you and their employer.

Always use a condom when transmitting or receiving transmitted files. It's not the history of your partner, it's the history of all their partners that gets you....  ;)

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis
