3g2 is a popular file format used for viewing videos on mobile phones and the good news is that we’ve just added a whole host of conversion options for 3g2 files here at Zamzar.

You can now convert any of the video file formats listed below to the .3g2 format for use on your mobile phone. What’s more you can also convert back from the .3g2 format to all of these other formats as well (which is useful for any videos you have recorded on your phone). The conversion happens online and all for free using Zamzar.

• 3gp - 3GPP Multimedia File
• avi - Windows video file
• flv - Flash video
• gvi - Google video file
• mv4 - MPEG-4 Video File
• mov - Apple QuickTime Movie
• mp4 - MPEG-4 Video File
• mpg - Moving Picture Experts Group File
• rm - RealMedia Streaming Media
• rmvb - RealVideo Variable Bit Rate File
• vob - DVD Video Movie File
• wmv - Windows Media Video

3GPP and 3GPP2 are standards used for the playback of multimedia on 3rd generation, high-speed wireless networks and are common to many modern phones, although they are usually better know by their respective file formats - .3gp and .3gp2 respectively. Both 3GPP and 3GPP2 are based on the MPEG-4 standard which was derived from Apple’s QuickTime.

We like to keep in touch with new file formats here at Zamzar and we’re proud to announce support for online conversion of the new Microsoft Office 2007 DOCX format. The format is based on open XML standards and will undoubtedly be great for future interopability, but what happens when you’re stranded with a .docx file and no copy of MS Office 2007 to view it with ?

Well you can now use Zamzar to convert docx files into any one of the following formats (including older versions of MS Office which only open .doc files):

To convert from docx simply head over to Zamzar, select the docx file you want to convert from your computer and enjoy !

Note: Conversions won’t work for .docx files created with pre-release versions of MS Word 2007.

Happy Converting !
