How to convert DivX to 3GP with ABC 3GP Converter How to convert DivX to 3GP with ABC 3GP Converter

Nowadays, there are more and more smartphone users that like to watch their favorite movies or recorded TV shows on mobile devices rather than on a desktop computer or laptop. Still, these devices can't open all types of video files as a computer, therefore, turning movies into a mobile-supported format such as 3GP, seems a really good idea. DivX is both a media format and a video compression technology applied to compress high-quality video data to small files without losing much of its original quality. This type of files is mainly used for movies that are stored on CD and DVD discs and, consequently, supported by almost all DVD players and disc burners. So, as you probably guessed, transforming a DivX video into 3GP file format can help you transfer your favorite high-quality DVD movies to a mobile phone in no time.

For demonstrating the conversion process, I've chosen ABC 3GP Converter 3.0 (Freeware) by ABC Media Studio, as it is a free application that not only individually converts DivX videos to 3GP files in a very simple manner, but also can do that with multiple files at the same time (batch mode).
