Another question for computer savvy people...

anyone know how to convert 3gpp2 files to avi files? I have a video in my e-mail, and want to convert it to an avi file for youtube. All of the converters i've tried don't seem to work. If anyone has any that work, could i send you the vid, and could you PLEASE convert it? It's only 15 seconds long, and you'd be my friend forever.

Duh Zach, don't you know that the answer to all computer problems is linux, firefox, or macintosh? So go see if those help.

QuickTime (alternative) is probably going to be your best bet unless you grab a full-version QT torrent. That seems to be the friendliest program for the 3G video format.

anyway, we have quicktime pro, we'll see if we can do it, and if so let ya know.

Alcoholiday · 10-27-2008, 05:53 PM

i've tried googling it, and the program that they recommend, total video converter, didn't work for me.

aoife, if you can do it, let me know! That would be awesome. I'd like to avoid downloading programs that i'll only use once if i can!

well, it seems quicktime can't, but youtube should be able to take that just fine as is, since it's the vid that comes off a mobile device and they let you upload from your mobile device. (Plus, we gooogled "youtube video formats" and wikipedia lists that as one of them.)

So, hopefully that'll work for you with no extra work necessary.

awesome! it worked. Not sure why it wasn't uploading before, but i tried it again, and it uploaded. THANK YOU!

Otto just has that power. He can even use it from far away.

Glad it worked.

I'm a bit late on this thread but Media Converter SA edition was a free download I found online that has helped me in the past.
