How to convert FLV to 3GP freely?

Last updated on June 24, 2015 by

We all know how to view flash video FLV files on computers, even though they are not natively supported by Microsoft’s Windows Media Player. Instead, players like Adobe flash player and VideoLAN VLC player can help us play FLV videos straightforwardly. This sort of flash video supported player can recognize FLV files well and play them smoothly.

However, when it comes to playing FLV files on mobile phones, things are not that simple since most mobile phones’ built-in media players cannot read FLV files either.

Because 3GP is a file format especially designed for videos on mobile phones, featured with small storage and low bandwidth. To some extent, it is 3GP format that turns our mobile phones into multimedia players. But how can we transcode FLV files into 3GP format on PC, here come three free ways to assist you.
