Nokia 6230i Vidios

I have recorded a few family vidios and stored them onto my computer.

When I try to copy them to a dvd to send to family I get a messaeg saying no compatable file found. They are storing as 3gp.

Does anyone know how I can copy them to a dvd?

Regards,

Mel

Re: Nokia 6230i Vidios

You have to first convert the .3gp video file format to something else.

I'm sure there are other programs, too, but if you search the Internet for a utility by the name "3gptorawavi", and download and install it, it will do the conversion to a format (AVI) that more programs can handle & put on a DVD (the typical DVD video file format is MPEG2).

Hello,

try using the Nokia Media converter 2.0 for converting the files from 3gp to MPEG or other formats.

It is here: http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/45bb041c-97c8-4dc9-a4c6-1c3313411189/nMMConverter_v2_0.zip.html

However, it is really for doing the conversions in the other direction: converting, e.g., AVI to 3GP, etc. In other words, it will not help in converting 3GP to AVI, for example.
