| Description | 🔵 3GP is basically the 'Lego set' of the early 2000s mobile world. Created by the 3GPP project back in the late 90s, it was the only way to get video onto those old-school GSM flip phones without the whole thing crashing. It’s a 'starvation-mode' format—built specifically because 3G data speeds were so abysmal that every single kilobyte was a battle. |
| Technical details | 🔵 The technical 'hack' here was stripping the MP4 (MPEG-14) structure down to its bare essentials. It uses a mix of H.263 or MPEG-4 Part 2 for video and pairs it with AMR audio (either narrowband or wideband). This combo was the only reason you could actually zapped a video file over the air back then. It’s surprisingly versatile for such a 'crunchy' format—the PlayStation 3 could encode it to USB, and the Nintendo DSi used it for SD card playback. It’s definitely not a format you’d choose for quality today, but it was a masterpiece of 'doing more with less.' It crammed the audio and video together into one tiny, manageable package that could actually survive the trip over a primitive mobile network. |
