Convert .MOV to .AVI and post

I don't have much need of this myself since our camera records to .MPG which blogger accepts. But if your camera records to .MOV format then you would need to convert to one of the accepted formats.
I only had one .MOV file on my pc to tamper with and its a teaser for a game that came out recently (or is coming out).
First I found an .MOV to .AVI converter that I thought looked decent and would be free. I found Apex Video Converter for free and if you purchase it you have more options. Download it here

Then I installed the file clicked the Open tab..found my file..left all settings at default and clicked the convert tab (top middle).
There are settings you can change...but with the free version not much. Not bad for the free version though.
Then you just click your insert video icon like normal and grab the converted file. By the way this file started out as a 49mb file. It is now only 11mb...I have yet to locate the program I have used in the past to take a clip of a larger file. I will edit this post when found.
Blogger will let you upload up to 100mb of video using the web based up-loader that is part of you posting tools....thats a lot in .AVI format. But it does take a while for blogger to render it into the format they need 'after' it finishes uploading.



There is also this page that is very useful in lots of layout information. (including video posting using other sources like youtube)

La...la...lala laa....la laaaaaaa!

Well..Google did it again. Made something that I like. There was already a third party tool that performed the following function..but it only worked one way.

You can now sync your Outlook calendar with your Google calendar! It will even work both ways! So if you schedule something at home...then later you are away from home and schedule it in Google calendar. You can sync the two calendars. You can do this both directions...or just from Google to Outlook...or from Outlook to Google. The software I had used previously would only take from your Outlook and push it to your Google.

This is a brand new function so at this time it will only sync to your primary Google calendar and to your default Outlook calendar. Of course you could easily work around this if you have a laptop by using the laptop for one Outlook setup (i.e. work) and Desktop for you other Outlook setup. Probably would have to use separate Google calendars in this workaround. Hmm? let the testing begin!!
