How to Convert Cell Phone Video

Many cell phones have the ability to record video files. Most of the time, cell phone video files are saved in the .3gp file format. Although this format can be played on many cell phones, it is not compatible with most movie players used with computers. You can, however, convert cell phone videos into more common video formats like MPEG, MOV, AVI, or WMV.
