I have a smart phone that saves video in .mp4 format.  I can play them back on my phone, but when I copy them to my PC, Media Player can’t to play it.  So I have two option–I can find a player for my PC that can play back .mp4 files, or I can find a video file converter which can take a .mp4 and convert it to something Media Player can read and play.  

I opted to get a converter, and I found Free Video Converter 1.0.  With this program, I was able to covert the 10 minute  .mp4 file to a .wmv–problem solved!

For a free program, Free Video Converter comes with a lot of features.  I has the capability to convert almost every known video format, and it is able to do it in a very short amount of time.  For example, the 10 minute video only took less than a minute to convert.

I certainly recommend Free Video Converter 1.0, for something free nothing can beat it.
