Convert 3GP to AMR

Understanding 3GP and AMR file formats

The 3GP file format is a multimedia container format primarily used for 3G mobile phones. It is designed to transmit audio and video files over the internet and is a simplified version of the MP4 format. 3GP files are commonly used for storing video recordings on mobile devices.

On the other hand, the AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) file format is an audio format optimized for speech coding. It is widely used in mobile devices for voice recordings and is known for its ability to compress audio data efficiently while maintaining quality. AMR files are typically used for storing voice recordings and are supported by many mobile phones.
