The possibilities offered by mobile phones in terms of playing videos tend to be limited to the 3GP format. This will be the right time to resort to a tool which can convert all the video files stored on our computer to our mobile 3PG format. An example of such a tool is 3GP Converter.

As we all know, nowadays mobile phones allow us to record and play video files, and then store them in their memories. These files can be saved in PC compatible formats as well. Similarly, it is possible to copy video files from the computer to the mobile, but the rather the latter will be able to play them or not, will depend on the formats it supports. To solve this problem you can use 3GP Converter, a tool for the conversion of video files to a format used by mobile phones (3GP).

To begin the conversion click the “Open” option and browse to the relevant file in the window that opens. The name of the file should appear automatically in the box below the “Input file” field.

The next step consists in selecting the properties of the new video, and here you’ll be able to make some adjustments to the default settings. Among these options you’ll find the one called “Bitrate”, which refers to the bit transfer rate. In the box placed to the left you’ll be able to choose the codec type you want to use during the process (MPEG4 or H.263). “Framerate” shows the frames assigned to the new file. Last but not least, the box “New Resolution” suggests the new video file’s width and height proportions, features that you can change if desired.

Once you’ve selected these options, and so as to finish your job, click on “Convert” and the program will start the conversion. When it’s finished, it’ll let you know whether or not it was able to successfully convert the file. The delay time will be influenced by two factors: the first one is the source file’s size, the second, our computer’s capacity to process the information. Probably a dual-core processor will be quicker than a single-core one. If the result is not the expected one, you’ll have to try other parameter settings.

As you’ve seen, it takes just a few simple steps to convert a video file to the 3GP format. Therefore, even though there are many programs that could carry out this same task, 3GP Converter,is highly recommendable due to its functionalism and practicality, specially for inexperienced users.
