Video Conversion... What is this?
As stated in Wikipedia here, Video Conversion (or Transcoding) is: "...Transcoding is the direct digital-to-digital conversion of one encoding to another, such as for movie data files (e.g., PAL, SECAM, NTSC), audio files (e.g., MP3, WAV), or character encoding (e.g., UTF-8, ISO/IEC 8859). This is usually done in cases where a target device (or workflow) does not support the format or has limited storage capacity that mandates a reduced file size, or to convert incompatible or obsolete data to a better-supported or modern format....".
To clear up the things, when we talk about video conversion, we mean to convert a video from a special video format to a well known file format (e.g. from .OGG or .WEBM to a MP4 video).

Keep in mind that a video is just an arrangement of many photos (frames from no on), in a sequence.
Frame 1, frame 2, ... etc.. When you see them in a presentation order, one-by-one, then it is a video.
In order for a human eye to understand a movement on a video, the frames must be at least 25-30 or more, during in a second. This is what is called as Frame Per Second (FPS) of a video. The more is the FPS, the better is the visual feeling for the viewer.
A video always has an encoding for keeping the file size small. Generally, the encoder of a video produces a different file extension name, although this is not true. For example, a video with the general AVI file format may have been encoding with one of many encoders (e.g. H264). The file extension is called the Container.
There are plenty codecs and encoding so, around the Web you will find a variety of different video file formats. Thus, there is the need to convert any video file format to a general encoder, in order to be sure that the new video will be playable into almost any device.

For every video conversion task, a special software is needed. If you search a little on the Web, you will soon find out that there are plenty of video conversion software tools and applications. Some of them are online, where you have to upload your video, the conversion will be held on the web server, and after a while you may download the new video with the new file format.
