I'm looking for an app that will convert .mov and .avi video files to .3gp format. Shareware or Freeware would be great, but if anyone has any suggestions at all it would be greatly appreciated!!

The only app I've been able to find that does this conversion is FFMPEGX but for whatever reason I can't get it to do the conversion for me. It gives me the following error every time - 'Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height'. If anyone has a troubleshooting tip that may solve this that would be great as well, as I've tried every spec I can think of in terms of the bit_rate, rate, width, height...yadayada.

Thanks, all!!
