The new generation of multimedia-enabled mobile devices lets us watch our favorite movies and shows anytime and anyplace. However, you might have faced the following problem. You’d like to watch some video during a journey. You transfer it from your computer to iPod or smartphone, but it can’t be played due to format incompatibility. That’s when we need to convert videos to 3GP.

3GP is a worldwide standard for creation, delivery, and playback of multimedia content over 3rd generation mobile networks to a wide range of mobile devices. 3GP videos require less bandwidth and storage space, which is crucial for cell phones.
