How to convert MPEG to 3GP with 3GP Converter How to convert MPEG to 3GP with 3GP Converter

If you constantly watch videos on your smartphone, then you might already know what 3GP files are. If not, 3GP is a video file format quite similar to the popular MP4, but it was designed for video playback on 3G mobile phones, as it applies AMR (adaptive multi rate) as an audio codec, a technology used by mobile phones for transmitting calls. MPEG, short for Moving Picture Experts Group, is not an actual media format, but a collection of audio and video compression standards. Among the popular formats compressed with MPEG standards are MP3, MPG, MP4, or VOB.
