Why would they give this product away – IT IS SO AWESOME!

I’m a video ‘hack’. I love messing with video and I’m addicted to Sony Vegas Studio Platinum but once in a while, I need to take a piece of video and convert it so that I can use it in Vegas. I’ve tried several programs and found them rough – or too expensive to justify. The other day, I stumbled upon (and I really think it was a StumbleUpon thing) – Freemake Video Converter.

From my first attempt to use it – I was extremely impressed. I had a 5 minute FLV file that I wanted to convert so that I could send it to a business partner of mine. I needed a low res WMV version to email. Freemake Video Converter was extremely intuitive and I was able to perform this task in seconds. I checked out the quality of the output and it was outstanding.

Here’s the link to download and try it. I think you’ll be impressed: Freemake Video Converter

Volkswagen:  “We believe that the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better is by making it fun to do. We call it The fun theory.”

Can we  find a way to add fun to our work?  That would increase productivity and boost morale.  Do you have any stories on how ‘fun’ can increase productivity?
