Please check this link :

http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Formats

Supported Formats :
The following Post Formats are available for users to choose from, if the theme enables support for them :

gallery
images
video
audio

etc ..

Honestly, how does this help? He asked for a way to change the post format, not for an explanation and link to the public codex or what is a post format.

No, if you have a video you’ll need to manually work to change its format into another one and I believe that takes time so you’d better find another solution.

My googling has found up nothing; it’s also fairly complex SQL if you wanted to jump into PHPMYAdmin and mess with the database yourself..

The post formats are stored in the terms db, so you would need to figure out which term id related to which post format, then change all instances of that term in the term_relationships table to the desired id. Simple enough, but I dont have any examples to work with as I don’t use them I’m afraid.
