Convert 3GP to OPUS

Converting one file format to another may be necessary for various reasons. So, for example, you may want to convert 3GP to OPUS if your computer, phone or other device does not support 3GP format. Also, conversion is often required to reduce the file size, since the original format takes up too much space in the device's memory. Perhaps you just need to extract the audio track from the video file, in which case converting the video to audio format is a good option. In any case, with the help of our converter, you can easily complete the required task. Below you can find out some details about the original and new file formats.

The 3GP file contains multimedia data in an audio and video container format developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) consortium for mobile telephony. It is used to transfer audio and video over the Internet, as well as save videos captured on a mobile device. The finished video clips in 3GP have a small size compared to similar videos in other formats, however, this is justified by a rather low quality, for example, often many frames are presented in the form of colored squares. This format is used to play videos, most often on mobile phones. Its peculiarity lies in the size of the files being played - it is much smaller than, for example, avi. The disadvantage of 3GP is quality, but it is ideal for playing on mobile phones. A 3gp file is a small footage created for playback on portable devices (phones, smartphones, tablets, etc.).

The main advantages of OPUS are high audio quality and good compression achieved through dynamic adaptive streaming. The format is based on technologies and broadcast algorithms from Skype and Xiph.org (SILK and CELT codecs, respectively). OPUS is the main audio codec in Skype today. Opus' structure allows it to effectively deal with sound artifacts. For this, a multi-stage audio signal processing architecture has been proposed. The main argument that speaks in favor of using the new codec for IP telephony is low time delay. The Opus codec is used for Voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, in-game chat. The Opus format has been standardized by the IETF and is maintained by Xiph.Org. Audio file encoded using the Ogg Opus lossy encoding format. The Opus format is designed for Internet audio streaming, that is, the transmission of sound over the Internet. The main advantages of the codec are low encoding latency (from 2.5 to 60 ms) and its high speed, a very high compression ratio of audio data with a very decent sound quality, support for multichannel audio (up to 255 channels). Opus is a completely open source, royalty-free, highly versatile audio codec. Opus is good for streaming both speech and music over the Internet. It's also great for storage and streaming.
