Convert QT to 3GPP2

Understanding QT and 3GPP2 file formats

QT files are multimedia container files developed by Apple, commonly known as QuickTime files. They typically use the .qt or .mov extension and can contain video, audio, text, and effects. 3GPP2 files, on the other hand, are multimedia files designed for 3G mobile phones, using the .3g2 extension. 3GPP2 is a standard developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2) and is optimized for CDMA-based mobile networks.
