Oxelon Media Converter is a new freeware program which will let you convert all kinds of files to all kinds of different files. It supports multi-processor computers and comes with the usual set of format shifting powers. In many ways it’s a lot like Super, but with a better, cleaner interface. And you can install additional plugins to extend its usefulness. It’s fast, works well and comes with an excellent price tag. [Thanks Mike]
So, you can use Oxelon Media Converter to prepare your video files for uploading to YouTube. For this purpose, convert files to AVI format (using XviD for video, MP3 for audio, and set the Width/Height to “320×240″). If you want to quickly make available a small video file for watching in the Internet Explorer directly from your website, then convert it to SWF format — choose minimal bitrates, adjust Width x Height to minimize the size, and then upload the converted SWF file to your web server.
