I have the SE K700i and have recorded some 'movie' images which i have then sent to my PC via IR.
I want to send the clips to people to watch but i don't think that most people will be able to play the 3GPP format they come in.
Is there a piece of software out there (preferably free!) that will convert the files to something that will play on a Windows Media Player?
Thanks |

No need to convert, just download Apple's QuickTime. That plays 3gpp files straight out of the phone.

Yes, or Realplayer. *prefer Quicktime though*

Thanks for the replies, but...
For instance, my wife works in an office where the IT dept control the PC she works on. It has the standard Windows player and they are stuck with that. |

Makes you wonder he half the ppl who reply to posts on here even bother reading the original question at all.

Makes me wonder why some people bother to make posts with no helpful information whatsoever, and just complain about other peoples help.
It makes sense to offer advice on how to play the files without converting. It saves time and effort. Also converting one video format to another reduces the quality considerably. 3GPP files from the K700 aren't exactly top quality in teh first place. Converting to a Windows Media Player format will only make the quality far worse.

Once again, Apple's QuickTime can be used to create 3gp files too.

how are we all .. good to see that all customers have read the question in question .. most ppl dont have real player and quick time installed on their computer's .. or especially ppl who use community computer's .. Does anyone know how to convert '3gpp Files" to "windows media player", so that others can view them if posted etc, and also video editing programs cannot support these files so they need to be in media file format .. Thanks all suggestions apprecitated .. the web has not yet given any relevant answers also .. |

a. Change of wife
b. Suggest ur wife to change her job
c. Use Quickttime to convert 3gpp-to-avi (but not free) and Windows movie maker to convert avi-to-wmv (free).

There is a freeware like that:
3gptoavi
It is not on the site anymore, but a search will help you.
You can also download it from http://www.zoezozo.it/download.htm or contact me, and I can mail it to you.
Do notice, the avi is very big, uncompressed. I suggest you compress it with virtualdub or other software. |

Here is the programmes I use:
3gpp -> avi (or wmv)
RiverPast VideoCleaner, www.riverpast.com
Use a general (ie not DivX/XviD etc) codec for the output video
"any" format -> 3gpp
Nokia Multimedia Converter 2 (www.forum.nokia.com/main/0,,034-63,00.html)
There also is:
PVauthor, www.pv.com/shop/authordownload.asp
Mpegable, www.mpegable.com
but those are just trialware (not free)

darengf, Who ever told you that you can convert video to 3GPP format using free software is wrong. Aple quic Time pro is not free.
Next of all QT pro does not work directly or correctly if you want to have sound on your video at least on the PC platform.
I have just spent AUD$49.95 to find this out.
Dont worry there is a work arround provided you have Ulead Video studio 6 onwards. You install QT pro and then use Ulead to convert your Mpeg video to a.mov video file. Though quicktime is supposed to do this it doesn't do it properly whilst the ulead product does.
Then you open the .mov file in the quicktime program and convert that to your 3Gpp using the export function.
I have successfully moved a couple of my favourite videos over to my phone and they take very little space on my 512 MB memory card.
