Frequently asked questions
What happens to the video when I convert MP4 to 3GA?
3GA is an audio-only format, so the video is discarded entirely and only the soundtrack is kept, re-encoded into the 3GPP audio container.
Why convert MP4 to 3GA?
To extract just the audio, for example turning a video into a voice-memo-style file compatible with older Samsung or LG phones that use 3GA.
Is the audio quality reduced?
The audio is re-encoded, which is a lossy step, so quality can drop depending on the target codec and bitrate. It will not exceed the quality of the audio already in the source MP4.
How do I play a 3GA file?
The free VLC media player opens 3GA reliably, whereas Windows Media Player and iTunes often lack the required codec.
