Anyone got any links to free conversion software for 3GP format files to avi etc?

 

Got video clips off me mobile but they are all in this format, which is fine for playing on the phone or other 3G devices but no bloody good anywhere else

 

cheers

hi, a mate of mine has been useing This to convert his files recently just download the MOV Converter that Convert QuickTime(.mov, .qt), 3GP, mp4 into avi, mpeg, vcd, dvd, wmv formats.

 

Personly ive never used this as i have not had the need to convert from 3GP but if this is no good for what you need it to do feel free to e-mail me at PsychoAlchy@dsl.pipex.com or leave a reply here and i will try to help you out more if i can.

 

Hope this was of some use to you mate

Thanks mate - tried it and it should work but for some reason it is saying it is not a video file or not a supported format - even though the file extension is correct i.e 3gp and the file are listed when i try to add them.

 

Not sure why this is the case!!!!

 

edit - installed quicktime now and it works - just need to buy it to get rid of the watermark they put on the trial version

 

edited again - don't need it now as quicktime plays 3gp anyway so need to convert them unless i want to post them on here of course

 

Far better than that windows media player - fed up with windows at the moment - they keep checking for genuine XP ( ) everytime you download something - i thought they were not allowed to do that post a court case but obviously not

cheers
