3G2 at a glance

3G2

Convert to 3G2 when preserving compatibility with legacy CDMA handset recordings, telecom media archives, or workflows that explicitly expect 3GPP2-style mobile video.

It is useful for migration and recovery of old phone clips.

For current playback and sharing, MP4 is almost always the better destination.

AMR at a glance

AMR

Convert to AMR when the target is a speech-oriented mobile or telephony workflow, such as voicemail systems, call recordings, or compatibility with older handset ecosystems.

It is useful when bandwidth and voice intelligibility matter more than music quality.

For music or general listening, AAC, Opus, or WAV are better targets.
