convert avi to 3gp

Hello naufal,

You can consider downloading Mobile Media Converter, which works on Ubuntu, at this url : http://www.miksoft.net/mobileMediaConverter.htm

If you need some help using this, don't hesitate to ask it here, or mailing me.

Hope that it helps you.

Hello,
I've tried the suggested recipe,but the application cannot detect my video
I read in the web page this application not for .avi video,
<-> format table:
from amr to mp3
from mp3, wav, wma to amr
from wmv, mpeg to 3gp
from 3gp to mpeg
any suggestion?

Hello Naufal,

Try to install ffmpeg, and then type in a terminal "ffmpeg -i inputfile.avi outputfile.mpeg" and finally, convert your mpeg file to .3gp one. Some builds of ffmpeg can do it directly, but not the standard Ubuntu one.

Hope that it helps you.

Forgot to say this : of course, use mobile media converter for the last step.

Have a nice day.

Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.

any proposal?
