Online Converter and Windows Media Player are simple converters. Both of them have some disadvantages. Online Converter should be used under the stable network environment. If the network is not well, you may fail to convert the formats. In addition, the file size should be limited to 200MB and the uploaded files are exposure to the webpage server.
