3GP is a multimedia container that is defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) which is specifically designed for videos on mobile phones. This file container requires small bandwidth and less storage space which makes it appropriate for mobile phones. It is also flexible in facilitating the creation, editing, transfer, and viewing of audio or video using 3G mobile phones.
However, compared to other file formats, there is a big difference when it comes to output quality, screen resolution, playback timing, and others because of its highly compressed audio or video stream in a single file.
For media player compatibility and flexibility while getting a good output quality, converting it to WMV is recommendable. WMV is a compressed video file format with several codecs supported. It is suitable for video streaming and uploading with good output quality.
You need to use a third-party tool for easy and fast conversion of 3GP to WMV.
VideoPower BLUE or ZEUS is a great third-party tool to use for the conversion of 3GP to WMV files. It offers easy and fast conversion through its user-friendly interface. Moreover, it has many added features such as a screen-recorder, slideshow maker, built-in editor, and photo-video collage.
ZEUS can do what VideoPower series can do and more with an almost similar interface.

2) You can adjust the trim marker by dragging the mark on the portion you wanted to trim.

4) Click “OK” to save the setting.

Conclusion:
The main advantage of the 3GP file format is its small file sizes which is beneficial to users who love to download and stream videos through their smartphones. However, its output quality, screen resolution, playback timing, and other important factors are not that good compared to other file formats like the WMV.
WMV is popularly used on Microsoft Windows OS users which provides good file compression with good output quality. You can use a third-party tool for the conversion of 3GP to WMV.
