Frequently asked questions
Why convert an MP4 to 3G2?
3G2 (3GPP2) is a container designed for older CDMA-based mobile phones, so conversion targets compatibility with those legacy devices and their limited codec support.
Does converting to 3G2 reduce quality?
Yes. The video and audio are re-encoded to codecs and bitrates suited to mobile playback, which is a lossy step, so the result is typically lower resolution and quality than the source MP4.
Where will a 3G2 file play?
It is intended for older 3GPP2 handsets. On a computer, the free VLC media player is the most reliable way to play it.
Do subtitles and chapters carry over?
No. Extra tracks such as subtitles and chapters from the MP4 are generally dropped, since 3G2 focuses on a single video and audio stream for constrained devices.
