Description

Version 1.10 of the program is probably the last version running on Windows XP. Compatibility with Windows XP blocks access to many technologies, audio and video encoders, and FFmpeg functionalities available only for Windows Vista and newer.

Free 3GP to AVI Converter – Quick start

Free 3GP to AVI Converter is the freeware application which convert mobile phone video files (3GP, 3GPP and 3G2) into AVI or MPG (MPEG-1, MPEG-2).

3GP and 3G2 files are commonly used in the modern mobile phones, but they are not supported by Windows Media Player and other popular media players. To display 3GP/3G2 video you need to convert that file into more reliable format, such as AVI or MPG.
The converted video files can be imported into Windows Movie Maker or other video tool.

The application allows you to set many parameters used by encoder: audio and video codec, audio and video bitrate, fps, sampling frequency, resolution, volume and other.

The Free 3GP to AVI Converter interface is a very simple and user-friendly. To convert 3GP video files, just drag & drop them into main window and click the Convert button.

At default settings, the application converts files using Xvid video encoder and MP3 audio encoder, and automatically selects all the encoding parameters so as to preserve the original video and audio quality.
Most portable and fixed players should have no problems playing AVI files created with these settings.

The program is available in both 32 bit and 64 bit version. The conversion process of the 64-bit version is faster by a few to 25% (depending on the selected video encoder) compared to the 32-bit version.

A large number of encoding parameters: audio and video bitrate, fps, number of channels and audio sampling, the volume, change the resolution, scaling and cropping the image, and others.
Possibility of 2-pass encoding, which will increase the image quality and reduces the volume of output file.
The ability to save the FFmpeg encoder commands in a BAT file.
The program is portable: it does not use system registry and all settings are stored in INI files. Thanks to this program can be run from portable devices such as pendrives, removable drives.

3rd party software

To encode the video files the program uses the FFmpeg encoder (ffmpeg.org).

To retrieve information about video files, the program uses the library MediaInfo.dll (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/).

The program is accompanied by a special version of the FFmpeg encoder, adapted to the needs of the program. Not recommended to use other versions of FFmpeg.

Changelog

Version 1.10 (2018.07.19)

New conversion engine (FFmpeg) and multimedia information library (MediaInfo).
New module: Check for updates.
Added option to save the creation, last access and last write time of the source files in the output files.
