[Solved] Convert 3gp to avi

[Mokles]

Hi,

 

Can anyone recommend a download to change 3gp files to avi files?

 

I've had a browse but there are sooo many and I'm reluctant to try an unrecommended in case I end up with unwanted 'bits' - my PC is slow enough atm.

 

I did try one that you didn't need to download but my file size was too large for the free version.

 

Thanks.:)

Hi, one of the best free video converters and capable of converting almost any type of video to any other is AVC.

 

You can download it via their own website which actually takes you to C.Net, which is now well known for bundling other unwanted software so I looked round and found the next down the list is from FileHippo.

 

Once downloaded, start the install and be careful to read every page, when you find the one that gives you the choice of "Express" or "Custom" install, please choose the "Custom", it is then that you will see the two check boxes for junkware, unless of course you want the junkware, remove the ticks.

 

Download from here :-

Once you do have it installed, click on the gear wheel icon for options, then use the browse button to choose where the converted video will go to. Otherwise it can be difficult finding just where the converter sent it. I think its own default is in a folder inside the program files, which can be a pain to get to.

Thanks Nev.

 

I was having another look around and came across this website

 

http://www.convertfiles.com/

 

and decided to give it a go. It took a while to upload the file but at least it worked. After downloading the converted file you delete the conversion on the website.

 

It's really easy to use and no risk of junk.

Those sites are OK if only a one off conversion is needed, however to have a program installed is better if needing more, plus AVC also has the ability to download and convert web video's, Youtube and others if wanting to have your own copies.

Glad you are sorted any way.
