3GP is a multimedia container format for mobile phones. It is based on the well-known MPEG4 (MP4) format, the latter was simplified to reduce size of files. Most 3G capable mobile phones can play and record 3GP video. If you have a modern cellular, you may wonder how to transfer videos to it. Well, the transferring itself can be done using the bundled software, but what about compatibility? 3GP is rarely used on computers, and most media players can't even recognize it. On the other hand, it's perfect for mobile phones, because of the optimized size and performance.
