Converting files has bedeviled me for a long time. My downloads of video clips has been restricted to mpegs without the appropriate converters. I would especially liike to view .mov and .avi files. All converters seem to be pay. Are there any reliable inexpensive (i.e. free) ones? This seems to be the only thread on converting files. Have I missed any others or helpful subjects?

Thanx in advance, Mykeel
