Note: This software solution is no longer available for purchase but users can still download it from softpedia and use it with its specific limitations.

Xilisoft FLV to 3GP Converter is a program with a name that pretty much describes its purpose - it allows you to transform FLV files into 3GP, a format supported by mobile phones. But it also supports images (GIF, PNG, JPG, BMP).

The tool comes with a clean and intuitive interface that allows you to add video clips via the file browser, folder tree or "drag and drop" functionality. Handling multiple items simultaneously is possible.

The file queue provides specific data about each entry and this includes the file name, duration, target size and file type, along with status. By using default settings, you simply need to select the output directory and profile, in order to initialize the encoding task.

But if you prefer fiddling with audio and video properties, then you can look over the codec, size, bit rate, frame rate, aspect ratio, quality, zoom mode, channels, volume and expert settings (e.g. interlacing, noise reduction, predictor). Optionally, you can disable the audio stream. Plus, you can create a new profile.

Xilisoft FLV to 3GP Converter lets you preview videos in a built-in media player and capture frames (to JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF), as well as split clips by time or size. Also, you can customize the number of CPU cores used, calculate the bit rate and enable a post-task action (e.g. hibernate or shut down computer).

In the "Preferences" area you can disable Xilisoft FLV to 3GP Converter from playing audio during previews, specify the default destination, snapshots folder and snapshot format, as well as set the tool to automatically check for updates online and to run in normal or low priority in the background. Settings can be restored to default.

Xilisoft FLV to 3GP Converter uses a high amount of system resources to encode a video in short time. It has a good response time and includes a help file, as well as supports multiple styles and languages. Nevertheless, the image and sound quality of the output videos is not good. Also, Xilisoft FLV to 3GP Converter failed to convert images during our testing. Installing the tool makes some modifications to the Windows registry that remain after uninstall. Program updates are welcomed.
