This document discusses tools for video conversion, editing, and sharing online. It recommends FreeMaker as a free video conversion tool that can change formats like WMV, AVI, MP4, FLV and QuickTime. Video editing software allows rendering videos into web-viewable formats through options like "Export," "Create Movie," or "Render." Popular sites for sharing videos include YouTube and other video hosting sites. Video grabbing tools can extract videos from sites like YouTube to reuse elsewhere. The document cautions that some grabbing tools contain unwanted extras and recommends FreeMaker as one that works well but to watch for extras during installation.
