Instructions: how to install Nokia Multimedia Converter Nokia Multimedia Converter Overview

Multimedia files in mobile applications, such as multimedia messaging (MMS), are encoded according to either the 3GPP (.3gp) file format or the AMR/AWB (.amr/.awb) storage format. Therefore, you must convert your existing multimedia files to the appropriate format before transferring them.

Multimedia Converter runs on Microsoft Windows™ 2000 (SP2) and XP (SP1), and requires 500 MHz Pentium processor, 256 MB RAM, 64 K colours or more and 60 MB disk space. With Multimedia Converter 2.0 you can convert common multimedia file formats to 3GPP or AMR/AWB formats.
