Videowave And 3G2 Video From My Cell Phone

[Foghorn Leghorn]

I just bought a new computer with Windows 7. Roxio Creator 2009 worked fine until I tried to add a .3g2 video file from my cell to Videowave. Videowave will not recognize the file. Any suggestions?

You may have to convert the file first to another format. Check this website for a free conversion utility

 

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3G/3GPP) is a collaboration agreement that was established in December 1998. The 3GPP and 3GPP2 specifications call out specific types of media that can exist in .3gp and .3g2 files.

 

In general, if a cell phone record a 3g2 video, it should conform to the 3G2 standard. However, a cell phone may not has the ability to play all variety of 3G2 videos due to limited codec support on the cell. Thus, it is easy to convert a cell phone 3G2 to a video format playable on a computer, but it is not so easy to convert a PC video to a 3G2 which is compatible with your particular brand of cell phone.
