YouTube lets you turn videos into greeting cards

For the second year, YouTube
on Friday unveiled a holiday feature that lets users create hosted
video cards to send to friends and family. Users can select this option
from any YouTube video, or from a special page that houses selected community videos and links to a user’s own clips.

There’s also an option to make a more personalized greeting straight
from a connected Webcam. For now, only one video can be attached to a
given greeting card.

When users are finished picking a video for use in a greeting card,
they can choose from a handful of themes that house the video player,
then add up to 230 characters of text and send the complete card to up
to 25 e-mail recipients.

According to YouTube’s company blog, more than a million of these greetings were sent out last year, before the feature disappeared in January.

Zamzar (online video converter)

Zamzar.com
gets my vote as the best choice for online video converters. All the
online solutions work in about the same fashion. They all have ads on
the pages. They all upload your file to their server,
allow you to choose an output format, and then provide a way to get
your file when the process completes. One particularly handy feature of
Zamzar is the ability to grab a video from a URL and convert, so if you
upload videos to a directory or find something on YouTube, you can
covert the videos without downloading them to your computer first. Limitations for the free version of Zamzar are 100MB file sizes and no more than 5 concurrent conversions.
