Any ideas where to get a good 3GP converter which is free and can converter more than 5 minutes videos?

My Girls Sony phone also makes videos in this horrible 3gp format.
I have also been looking for a way to convert them to an avi or mpeg.I remember downloading about 5 different apps to do the job.A couple couldnt even read the files off the phone at all.One managed to read them put took about an hour to convert a 30secs test movie to mpeg.The last one took about 30 mins to make the 30sec test into a 700mb+ avi file!!
After all this I gave up!!! Btw Youtube allows you to upload 3gp and it converts it for you on the fly and puts into its flash video format so we know its possible...anyone got any ideas?
Heres some links that could help.

Try getting the Apex Free 3GP Video Converter:

http://www.tompegx.com/3gp-video-converter.html

According to the site, the conversion is extremely fast. I never used this converter before but from what I read online (and the links that Mark420 posted), it sounds like it will still take a while because the output file will be a huge uncompressed movie file

I'm going to try that thanks...

Erightsoft Super can convert almost everything into something else, it can even make 3GP movies: http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html
miksoft has a 3GP converter too: http://www.miksoft.net/mobile3GPconverter.htm

Apex Free 3GP is a good one

I usuallu use Media Coder from http://www.mediacoder.sourceforge.net.

It can convert most video & audio file types. Usually I download a youtube videos and convert them to .mpg using this software. It can also convert into .3gp, you can also specify what kind of devices you are going to put this .3gp so it will match the hardware.

And don't worry, it's opensource, so it's free and no limitation.

Great stuff, I have tried this out and it works great with the files from my gf Sony Wankisson.
Oh well problem solved..lol just as she is upgrading her phone to a new pocket pc.

try Movkit Mobile Video Converter.

I do ever search for a good 3GP converter as you, that time, I used several 3GP converting tools to help me accomplish my kinds of video to my cell phone for playing, but there are these or those problems, some even have very bad after-sales service. Until the beginning of this mouth, I encountered Moyea video to 3GP converter and have a good feeling of this program, it help me to convert almost all my videos to 3gp, 3g2,mp3, aac to my cell phone with perfect quality for good enjoyment, I can also do many advanced settings and kinds of editing jobs to get my own satisfied movies by this program. And they provide life-time free update, so if I happen to any question, I will get reply in 24 hours as long as I sent to them. They provide very good after-sale service as I wish. Hope you can get what you want.
