is it possible to convert 3gp to avi file? what program? it would be nice to watch these video's with windows mediaplayer..

As far as I know you can only play them with the nokia media player which will also view wmb and amr audio files

even googles got no answer 😃 i searched "convert 3gp to avi" - no results found

use Philips Platform4 PC Player http://www.digitalnetworks.philips.com/InformationCenter/Global/FArticleSummary.asp?lNodeId=764&channel=764&channelId if you dont like the Nokia Multimedia player

Doesn't it automatically convert it when you transfer between PHONE and PC? I know sending an AVI automatically converts it to .3GP

i want to convert 3gp to avi because if i send the video by email to my friend he has to install nokia multimedia player! it would be much easier if he could just use windows mediaplayer..

Yep.. its much better if we can view 3gp using windows media player and it will not be a trouble for our friends to download additional 3rd party player but WMP cant simply play it 😞

Anyone work out how to do this yet? It's bizarre that I can't convert the little images for use in other applications, for example if I wanted to embed them in a shockwave program or something.

Anyone?

Apple is developing an application which can convert 3GP to MPEG4.

Where can you download the nokia media player from?

(I have already tried searching and cannot see it)

I have the phillips player - but when I play a *.3gp file I can hear the sound but can see no picture.

Thanks for the help

I know this is a very cheap hack, but you can use a screen grabber program like Hypersnap, select the region you want to capture, and then you can capture it as a movie...it's some time ago that i worked with this program, but i think it's possible

That's great, but both MPlayer and FFMpeg are distributed as source code.

You need someone to build them for Windows (or whatever platfotm you use). Anyone?

:bday:

I've developed a little free app capable
of grabbing nokia multimedia player images during the play
and create nomal uncompressed avi file.

(can be used wherever you want in the screen)

It's a first simple simple beta software, I've used bruteforce image
clipping to create the avi, but results are good..

Well, hope you'll enjoy this file..
I'am preparing another advanced version to choose the
codec ,etc...

Post here whatever for want.. about this..

I tried using MPlayer, with appropraitely modifying codec.conf as mentioned above, but I continue to get error which is as follows

Playing abc.3gp
MOV: FIle-Type unknown Major-Brand: 3gp4
MOV: missing header (moov/cmov) chunk! Maybe broken file ....
Falling back on trying to parse playlist abc.3gp...
Sorry this file format is not recognized/supported
