Hi,
Classroom video projects are useful. Rather then the old 'poster' of "cut&paste", it can demonstrate the students explaining/demo'ing/acting a concept or idea themselves. Actually doing a video project, however, can be especially frustrating - students with multiple different video formats, operating systems, video editors, etc. I'm often confronted with a "this editor won't work with this video" because either they have a Mac file on a windows machine, or a windows file on a Mac machine, and currently they're not speaking to each other. If Mac would just buy Windows it would solve everything, but until then (and just today) I ran across a free video converter:

Unfortunately it only works on Windows (Vista, 7), and not on a Mac. Given that in any project there is always a mix that includes a Windows machine, that shouldn't be a problem.
