Most phones today use the 3G system, the latest the recent iPhone 3G.
3GP is the video format used by these phones, this format is not compatible with most video players, sometimes we will need to convert our 3GP videos in order to play them on a PC. Below is a review of the most popular 3GP converters on the market, they all work quite well, despite this some are faster than other and some deliver better quality.

IMTOO 3GP Converter

This is one of the most popular out there, itīs easy to use and quite fast, said that the quality of both video and sound is not the best, the sound in particular appears to be out of sync with the video most of the time, maybe the most popular, surely far from being the best.

Movietoolbox 3GP Converter

This video converter is the cheapest of the group, it sells for under $10. The program is quite good for the price, said that it suffers of bad video quality and sometimes has the same out of sync sound that Imtoo has.

Mobile 3GP converter
This converter is only good if you want to convert your videos into Raw AVI, itīs very limited compared to the other converters on the market.

Reganam 3GP Converter
This 3GP video converter sports an interface quite different from all the others products, is quite simple to use and from the test it delivered the best video and sound quality. The site says itīs the fastes converter on the market, not sure about that, but surely I can confirm about the quality.

Allok Video 3GP Converter

This is another popular converter, pity that I was unable to test, as soon as the conversion started the program crashed, I tried it on 2 different Pc and was unable to run it. All in all of the 5 tested the one I think is best itīs the one from Reganam, the interface is good, itīs easy to use and it delivered the best quality video, in second place I put Imtoo, said that the sound output is most of the time out of sync with the video.

There are many other video converters out there that will do the job, these are 5 of the most popular ones. The 3GP format is getting more popular everyday, and in the future probably all phones will be using 3GP All the programs mentioned above offer a free trial, I would recommend to test the programs for yourself to see if they work properly on your PC before a purchase (I was unable to run the Allok converter).

What is 3G?

3G stands for third generation, a generic wireless industry term for high-speed mobile data delivery over cellular networks. 3G networks allow users to send and receive bandwidth-intensive information such as video, video conferencing, high quality audio and web data on-demand, virtually anytime and anyplace.

The 3G2 file format can store the same video streams and most of audio streams used in the 3GP file format. In addition, 3G2 stores audio streams as EVRC, EVRC-B, EVRC-WB, 13K (QCELP), SMV or VMR-WB, which was specified by 3GPP2 for use in ISO base media file format.
