Convert 3GA to MP4

Understanding 3GA and MP4 file formats

The 3GA file format is an audio file format associated with the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project). It is primarily used for audio data on mobile devices and is a simplified version of the 3GP format, which is used for both audio and video. The 3GA format is commonly used for storing audio tracks that are recorded on mobile phones.

On the other hand, the MP4 file format, also known as MPEG-4 Part 14, is a digital multimedia container format most commonly used to store video and audio. It can also store other data such as subtitles and still images. MP4 is widely used due to its high compression and compatibility with various devices and platforms.
