Multimedia files in mobile applications, such as multimedia messaging (MMS), are encoded according to either the 3GPP file format or the AMR/AWB storage format. Therefore, you must convert your existing multimedia files to the appropriate format before transferring them. Multimedia Converter 2.0 runs on Microsoft Windows™ 2000 (SP2) and XP (SP1). With Multimedia Converter 2.0 you can convert common multimedia file formats to 3GPP or AMR/AWB formats.Multimedia converter is used to convert common multimedia files (such as MPEG and AVI files) into multimedia file formats used in mobile applications (3GPP, AMR, AWB). Conversion of existing multimedia files to the appropriate format is needed before using them in mobile applications such as multimedia messaging (MMS).
Multimedia Converter includes console conversion tool (MMConverterCon.exe), which can be used to convert files from command line (useful for converting large number of multimedia files in a single batch). Start MMConverterCon.exe from command line with “MMConverterCon.exe -h” (or without any switches) to see the help message which describes shortly supported switches.
Multimedia Converter supports these file formats:
AVI
WAV
MPG (MPEG-1, MPEG-2)
NIM
MOV (Apple Quicktime)
MP3
MP4 (ISO MP4)
3GP (3GPP MP4)
AMR, AWB(WB-AMR)
The actual set of supported file formats depend on installed codecs (for example DivX AVI files can be played and converted only if DivX codec is installed).
NOTE: Some codecs are bundled with external software. For example codec for MOV -files is included in Apple Quicktime Player.
Remember, if all needed codecs are installed, but you cannot play the file in Multimedia Converter or in other programs, check that the file is not corrupted. If the file is playable in other programs, but not in Multimedia Converter, check that the file format is supported by Multimedia Converter 2.0. If the file format is not supported by Multimedia Converter, you must convert the file to some format supported by Multimedia Converter, if possible.
