Hello friends, I searched the Internet for a decent video converter that converted 3gp video from my mobile to wmv, mpg or any other common and easily playable format. I tried several of them but the winner was Format Factory as it converted / transcoded my video easily with no anomaly in playback speed, quality etc. I would recommend Format Factory to you people as it helped me a lot and I researched the web and found out that it is very trusted and reliable converter of all the free video converters available. It works equally well for other formats including mp4, mkv, wmv, avi, xvid and others.
