Zamzar online file converter adds browser plugin
We wrote about Zamzar a few months ago. It's a free online service that will convert video, audio, and documents. You upload the file, enter your email address, and Zamzar will send you a note when your new file is ready for download.
Well now it looks like Zamzar's got the online video bug, adding support for converting videos from YouTube and a number of other services. You can either enter the URL of the video, or use a new browser plugin to automatically find videos to convert on the page you're visiting.
Zamzar will allow you to convert files from YouTube, Google Video, Myspace, Revver, putFile, Break.com, Apple Trailers, Dailymotion, Metacafe, iFilm, Grouper, and Blip.tv. You can convert files to a variety of formats, including 3GP, FLAC, MP4, and AVI.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

This is a great update for Zamzar. Nothing new in itself since it is already possible to download videos from YouTube but I like that Zamzar has the functionality added to their product.

I prefer HeyWatch.com. You just enter the URL and it'll encode it all for you, in whatever format, from whatever site. They even give you an RSS feed of your encoded videos. I love it :)
