Is there an easy way to upload videos in 3gp format :scratch (my Motorola Razr2 creates 3gp videos).
The best way I found so far (without installing any software on my PC) is it to upload the video to Google Videos and download it back in MP4 format.
thank you

Try converting them using software before upload. I use MPEG Streamclip for most videos that need converting. www.squared5.com

I thought 3gp was supported in SM directly? In the wiki, it shows it as being supported. :scratch

I just tried uploading a 3gp video using the simple uploader and it wouldn't even select the file. I used olde faithful uploader and it worked, but only showed up as a still shot. :cry

.3gp is a smaller version of the Mpeg4 container format. The problem with container formats is not the format itself. It is the codecs it contains. We cannot support all codecs. Just because a container/format is listed, we cannot guarantee support. Conversion to correct the codec is the best solution.
