3GPP Mobile Video at a glance

3GPP Mobile Video

Convert to 3GPP mobile video when preserving early phone footage, reopening MMS-era media libraries, or targeting an older handset workflow that still expects 3GP-style packaging.

In most current environments it is better treated as a migration source than as a preferred final format.

AIFF at a glance

AIFF

Convert to AIFF when the recipient needs high-fidelity editable audio for production, mastering, archiving, or sample-based workflows, especially in Apple-heavy or studio environments.

It is a strong target when preserving PCM quality matters more than storage size.

For lightweight delivery, AAC or MP3 are usually better suited.
