This week’s tech tip is about video conversion. I know a lot of people have MP3 players, iPods, PSPs, and other portable entertainment devices. However, a lot of the time, I hear of people asking questions like “How do I get the video I took with my videocamera onto my PSP” or “Why won’t this DVD go onto my iPod?” Chances are, you need to convert the file to the proper format. WinFF is a program for Windows or Linux that makes it super-easy to do just that. Just select the file you want to convert, and select the format you want it to end up in, for example, “Microsoft Zune” or “iPod fullscreen”, and hit convert. To get WinFF, simply go to www.winff.org, and look under Downloads for the Windows Installer.

For Mac users or as another option for windows users, try Handbrake. It has even more options, and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It is available at www.handbrake.fr.
