File Extention Conversion.

[the scouser]

I've transferred some movie clips from my mobile phone to my PC via Bluetooth, but the file extention is 3gp which is not recognised by the Windows software on the PC. Is there any (free) way of converting the file extention type to one which will enable me to play the clips on my PC?

Thanks,

Scouse.

Thanks a lot chaps. The Zweistein option didn't work for me (it wouldn't allow me to export the file), so I tried the Miksoft option provided in the Gromkov link and that was just dandy.
