How to Convert 3GP to MP4
3GP files are widely used in 3G cell phones. When a phone captures a video clip, that clip is automatically saved as the 3GP file type. Not all programs and devices have the capability to read the 3GP file type, so if you would like to transfer a 3GP file to a device that can't read the file extension, like an MP3 player, you can first convert the file to MP4. MP4 files are recognized in nearly all types of MP3 player.
