Ok, so let's go ;) Recently, transcode HEAD has got support for libavformat. This open the door to a bunch of new formats, including 3gp. This support is currently limited to video streams only (no audio) but this doesn't look a problem for this specific task. So, what you can try is to 1. download and install a ffmpeg SVN snapshot with all codecs and formats (of your interest) enabled 2. download and install a transcode CVS *HEAD* snapshot, rebuild against ffmpeg libraries installed in step above 3. try it It should work, at least with some additional patches that I'll like to provide (to properly recognize and autoprobe 3gp streams).
