Help Record in some thing other than 3GP?

[Eryl Flynn]

I want to be able to record a quick vid of my little girl and email it to her grandma from the phone. Problem is it records in 3GP and so far have not found an easy way to get her computer (3000 miles away) to play these files.

So I guess I am looking for 1 of 3 things.

1. Way to record in some thing else. (AVI, MP3/4 etc.)

2. Way to convert it simply on the phone to a compatible type.

3. A way to send a file to Grandma that is pretty much click here and run this app.

Any ideas?

Does Grandma use Mac OS X or Windows?

Windows

Windows

I'm pretty sure VLC VideoLAN - VLC media player for Windows plays 3gp files.

Have to test that, see how easy to install and use it is for her. That will be the key.

Yeah and if you don't mind posting back if it works or not? I'd like to know for sure if anyone asks me in the future.
