    This video converter is the best one I’ve tried. The interface is simple and clean, there are lots of output formats to choose from, and it’s really easy to use. So far I’ve only used it to convert small clips I’ve recorded, which are in an unsupported file type on other sites and converters. But this one is definitely the best.
