Not neccessarily. He might have to send some captures to, say, a tech support engineer. Often they want something Sniffer can read (or at least they use something that can read Sniffer format files).

Been there, done that.

To answer the original question: look at 'Save as' in Ethereal or the '-F'-option of editcap.
